Cornwall Councillor Community Chest Grant Scheme 2026-2027

About this grant

Small grants from each Cornwall Councillor's Community Chest budget for not-for-profit groups running projects that benefit people in their area. Typical uses include community building improvements, environmental projects, play and exercise equipment, local training such as first aid courses, and public events and festivals. Grants are usually £200 to £750 per councillor; projects costing up to £500 can be fully funded, and above that the grant covers up to 75% of costs. The closing date for completed 2026-2027 applications is 12 February 2027, but budgets are limited so early applications are advised.
