Community Grants 2024/25

THIS SCHEME IS NOW CLOSED

In order to reflect the aspirations set out in the new Hertsmere Vision Document, Delivering Better Futures, our Community Grants scheme for 2024/25 is encouraging applications for funding up to £2,500 for projects and initiatives that celebrate our diverse community and support inclusion as well as those involving creativity in its widest sense.

What can I apply for?

We are specifically looking for projects and initiatives which contribute to achievement of the following Commitments from the Hertsmere Vision Document:

• Celebrate our heritage and identities
• Promote creativity and the arts

Some examples of possible applications are set out below, but any applications which can demonstrate how they will support the achievement of the above Commitments will be considered:

• Projects to support a particular group covered by the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010
• Projects which celebrate our diverse community through creativity or culture
• An inclusive event or celebration
• Projects or initiatives which involve creativity in its widest sense
• Capital expenditure to increase accessibility of existing services/ groups/ projects to the whole community

Any project must engage with or benefit Hertsmere residents. Applications with match funding will be considered favourably, but this is not essential.

How do I apply?

Please read the Guidance Notes before completing the Application Form and then send your completed application form and supporting documentation via email wherever possible to grantapplications@hertsmere.gov.uk or hand-in a hard copy c/o Hannah Oliver, Partnerships and Community Engagement at the Civic Offices.
