Grants for Community Groups
Burgess Hill Town Council provides grants to local voluntary organisations and community groups to help fund activities that benefit the town’s residents. For further information please contact 01444 238207 or email grants@burgesshill.gov.uk
Burgess Hill Town Council are changing to an annual grants process to continue to be able to support local community groups and local voluntary organisations efficiently. This change will come into effect on October 1st 2024, following the next round of minor and major grants.
The new annual process will have a deadline of 31st January 2026, with allocations made in February/March 2026.
There will also be two further changes to the ‘Conditions of Funding’, which are;
• To restrict the scheme to organizations that have ‘Net Current Assets’ of less than £1 million to ensure that the scheme supports smaller groups.
• To state that preference is given to those groups that have not received a grant in the last 24 months.
Minor Grants (up to £1,000)
Minor Grants of up to £1,000 are available for running costs as well as capital expenditure. The application deadlines for Minor Grants are 30 April and 31 August.
