The council provides funding for events that are delivered within the borough, open to the whole community, free to attend or provide some free activity, provide opportunities for volunteering and community participation, promote environmentally responsible and sustainable behaviour, and are delivered in the 2026/27 financial year. Applications are accepted from 5 January 2026 to 31 March 2026, with funding decisions provided within four weeks of the application deadline.
