Community Support Fund - Tunbridge Wells

Aimed at continuing COVID recovery

A new grant scheme is available for applications from organisations within the community that are working hard to support our residents.

Covid-19 and the subsequent cost-of-living crisis continue to impact vulnerable residents in the borough. Tunbridge Wells Borough Council can provide financial assistance to organisations within the Community that provide support for those still feeling the effects of the pandemic. £100,000 has been set aside from a National Government Grant to create a Community Support Fund. Applications for the fund are now open.

We are offering approximately 5 one-off grants of up to £20,000 for specific Covid-19 and resulting cost-of-living crisis recovery projects. Projects can include the expansion of existing services due to a growth in demand or new needs that have been identified.

Applications must include a business plan detailing the kind of support your organisation provides and will require an auditable return once the funds have been spent. The Council does not have the resources to administer many small grants, small groups should work together or with larger organisations to make a joint application.

The closing date for applications will be 12 noon Monday 16 September 2024.
