Grants

We provide grants to local groups and organisations for community-based projects and venues.

Term Grants

The council has awarded £60,000 per year to Lyme Regis organisations whose functions and services are important to the community and its wellbeing. This funding is now committed until 2024/25.

Community Grants

The community fund provides grants of up to £1,000 for capital projects that help and support the community.

Grants for the 2023/24 year have now been allocated but we will invite further applications for 2024/5 in January/February 2024.

Grants can be used for the purchase of materials and equipment, or the provision of a service that makes Lyme Regis a better place to live, work and play.

Applications will only be considered from non-profit making organisations who do not provide grants or donate monies to others, and funding cannot be used for retrospective expenditure.
