Borough council launches £2m grant scheme

A £2m grant programme to support the community, businesses and local development projects in north Warwickshire has been launched.

The North Warwickshire Prosperity Fund was approved by the borough council at a meeting in March, with applications opening on Wednesday.

Projects can apply for funding for up to two years, and grants must be spent by 31 March 2028.

There is no minimum or maximum funding amount, and the scheme is open to a range of applicants, including town and parish councils, voluntary organisations and private sector entities, North Warwickshire Borough Council said.

The grant programme represents an investment in the borough's future, supporting initiatives that improve quality of life and enhance local communities, the authority added.

Council leader David Wright said: "The North Warwickshire Prosperity Fund will provide vital support for local organisations and groups, helping them deliver projects that benefit residents and strengthen our communities.

"We encourage all eligible organisations to apply and make a lasting impact in the borough."
