County Councillor Grants

County councillors have a budget of £10,000 for 2007/08 and a further £10,000 for 2008/09, to be spent on local projects or initiatives in their divisional area. The 2007/08 scheme is now closed and the 2008/09 scheme will run until February 2009. Bona fide groups and organisations, but not individuals, will be able to apply to their County Councillor for a grant.

What type of projects/initiatives are covered?

Groups and organisations can apply for funding for both revenue (one-off) and minor capital projects. These grants are intended to benefit a wide range of groups/activities for example, vulnerable children or adults, young people, facilities for older people, community facilities, parish councils (but only for specific projects), minor traffic or safety works, local environment projects, and community safety.

How will applications be judged?

Applications for grants must demonstrate that their project or initiative contributes to one or more of the County Council’s corporate priorities:

Hampshire safer and more secure for all
Maximising wellbeing
Enhancing our quality of place
