Groups and charities across Gedling borough can now apply for the latest round of community-boosting grants which is now open.
Nottinghamshire County County’s Local Communities Fund (LCF) is open to eligible groups which can provide evidence that their projects will or do make a difference in their communities. This includes helping residents live healthier and more independent lives and contributing to a prosperous and growing local economy.
Capital grants can offer support towards improvements to local facilities, such as sport grounds, play areas and community centres, while smaller revenue grants are available to help with essential running costs, such as paying wages and bills.
Eligible groups can apply for a one-off grant of up to £20,000 (capital) or up to £5,000 (revenue) if they have match-funding in place plus an endorsement from their local Nottinghamshire County Councillor.
Groups have until Friday, November 7, 2025 to apply.
Following a full assessment process, groups will hear back whether they have been successful in February 2026.
Councillor Dawn Justice, the Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Public Health, said she was delighted that the grant scheme was now open.
She said: “Community groups do such vital work to improve the lives and well-being of our residents, so the LCF can really help communities thrive by financially supporting community groups and charities.”
“We are expecting a large number of applications, so we have decided to make the whole year’s funding allocation available in this round.
“Priority will be given to applications that best meet the criteria, especially if these bids are from organisations that did not receive funding in the previous funding round.
