We offer grants and support to community groups and charitable organisations so that they can continue to do amazing things for our local community. Our funding must be used to support people who live, work or study within the town. Each year we award around £1 million in discretionary grants.
We offer 3 types of grants: Small Community Grants, Community Grants, and, in partnership with Citizen’s Advice South Warwickshire, financial support to people in financial crisis.
Our Community Grants (previously known as large grants) is closed and reopens on 20th April 2026.
