Community Grants Scheme


We are encouraging community groups to plan and deliver projects within the Transforming the Trent Valley Landscape Partnership Scheme area which will benefit the natural, cultural and built heritage of the area.

Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund

These projects might include building a wildlife area in a school garden, creating an arts trail along the River Trent, restoring part of a historic building or putting on an event to enable children to explore the great outdoors.

This project allows community groups to apply for up to £2000 from the Transforming the Trent Valley Landscape Partnership Scheme, which can be used for up to 50% of the total project costs (e.g. you might apply for £1500 as part of a £3000 project).

The deadline for the next round of applications is 25th February 2021.


This project is being administered by Support Staffordshire, a partner in the Transforming the Trent Valley Landscape Partnership Scheme.
