Community Grants

Stotfold Town Council is committed to providing financial assistance and support to eligible local community groups, faith groups, not-for-profit organisations and organisations working in Stotfold and supporting its local residents. These financial grants aim to provide support for residents connected to improved wellbeing, leisure and opportunities to ensure inclusivity and equal opportunity for all.

Stotfold Town Council has two grant award periods – April and October annually. In order for Stotfold Town Council to be able to assess applications objectively, it must assess all applications received against a range of eligibility criteria and will be presented to and decided on by the Governance & Resources Committee. 

Grant Awards between 2022 - 2025
