J&O Lloyd Community Grants

The J&O Lloyd Community Grants program provides funding to organizations that deliver benefits to communities within the East Staffordshire borough. The fund supports constituted community groups, voluntary groups, registered charities, and social enterprises working in heritage, arts and leisure, built and natural environment, and social and community isolation. Awards typically range around £5,000, with a maximum of £10,000 available. The fund considers both capital and revenue projects and can provide funding for up to three years or one-off projects. Organizations must usually be based in East Staffordshire borough, although exceptional circumstances may allow organizations outside the borough if funding exclusively benefits East Staffordshire residents. Eligible costs include equipment, capital expenses, training, core costs, events, and one-off project costs. Preference is given to projects that improve, enhance, or make accessible the built or natural environment of East Staffordshire, or bring benefit to local people and communities.
