Leicester City Council Ward Grants

Applications will be considered that are made by individuals living, working or having any other interest in the ward as well as community groups, voluntary organisations, statutory agencies and partners. The size and resources of the applicant are likely to be considered when determining the merits of a grant application.

Councillors are likely to want to support as wide a range of activities as possible and for this reason are unlikely to support proposals which would take up a large proportion of their funds. Councillors have the flexibility to make local arrangements for their ward to set limits on how much funding can be allocated to each application.

Applications can be made to a maximum of three wards (whether through 3 separate applications or one single form) for which applicants must be able to demonstrate benefits spanning across all of the wards – applications will be considered as one request.

This application should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please ensure you set aside sufficient time to complete the application as there is no function to save the information part way through the process.

Applications are considered by ward councillors three times per year. The deadlines for submission are:

• 31 January
• 31 May
• 30 September.

It can take up to 4-6 weeks after the submission deadline for decisions to be made.
