Were you aware that Sidmouth Town Council offer Grants each year to Voluntary Organisations?
The application form is now available to request funding. Last year the council supported over 20 local community organisations; the individual grants are usually around £1,000 or under.
The application form asks for details of what the money being requested will be used for, and how it will benefit the community. This could be by improving people’s wellbeing, preserving local heritage, supporting the local economy, protecting the environment, contributing towards cultural life or promoting social cohesion and inclusion.
Applicants need to include a copy of their last audited accounts or, for newly set up groups, a business plan.
Organisations that receive funding will be expected to acknowledge the council’s support on their website and promotional material; the council will provide a branding package with logos and suggested wording.
Sidmouth Town Council will consider the making of grants for the year 2026/20267 at a January 2026 Council meeting. Grants will only be made to voluntary organisations whose applications have been approved at that meeting.
Completed applications must be received by 9am Monday 8 December 2025.
Application forms can be found on the Council website
