Village Halls Small Grants Fund

The Village Halls Small Grants Fund offers grants to help make modest improvements to rural community buildings in England. Part of the Platinum Jubilee Village Halls Fund announced in 2022 in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee, this fund makes it easier and quicker for groups to undertake projects such as boiler replacements, insulation, toilet upgrades and new kitchens. Awards cover 20% of eligible project costs, up to a maximum of £5,000. The balance of funding for proposed works must be in place or at least confirmed within 6 weeks of application. ACRE recommends that applicants only apply once the project is ready to proceed with all necessary elements in place.
