Our Community Facility Legacy Grant Scheme (the Grant Scheme) has been launched to support communities to become healthier, safer and stronger by protecting and enhancing where people live for current and future generations.
The £1,000,000 Grant Scheme will support communities to enhance the current network of facility provision across the district. Ensuring communities have access to high-quality, sustainable and accessible public open spaces and community facilities, that foster improved health and well-being and connected communities.
The Grant Scheme is a key component of the Council Plan which will:
Accelerate the development of community hubs for wellbeing across the district by investing £4m into community assets through our Community Infrastructure Investment Plan, with a focus on accessibility and inclusivity.
The Community Infrastructure Investment Plan 2025-28 (CIIP) provides the Council with a framework that underpins the Council’s approach to providing, and investing in, new and existing public open space and community facility provision. This includes both provision that is part of the Council’s own facility portfolio, and provision that is owned and operated by community organisations.
Applications are now closed for this scheme and 48 projects have been chosen to move to the next stage.
