The Ward Budget scheme provides councillors with £500 per year to support projects that make a difference in the community.
It is intended to allow councillors to assist local projects financially, support local initiatives and opportunities which would also allow councillors to become more involved in their communities.
Councillors are entitled to use their allocation, in whole or in part, to contribute towards a local project which is receiving finance from other sources.
Before making an application as either a community project or a ward member, please read the Ward Budget Guidance document.

If you have a project which you think would be suitable for support from your local councillor, check which ward you are in - find your local councillor contact details.
Please first consult the attached guidance document, as well as the council’s corporate priorities before contacting your councillor with an application, to avoid any delay or rejection of your application.
