All applications should aim to address local issues and improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Warwickshire. In particular, applications which address one or more of the following key priority areas will be supported:

Improving community assets and their sustainability
Improving access to services
Improving financial capability
Improving health and wellbeing
Reducing loneliness and isolation

Please note that for the 2nd round, only a limited number of Councillors have any funds remaining after the 1st round. The full list of Councillors and the amounts they have left can be found on https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/cllrgrants.

In Warwick District, the online fund is only open to the communities of Kenilworth, Lapworth and North Leamington to apply directly to local County Councillors for funding. In all other areas of Warwick District, funding can be applied for through the Warwick District Community Forum Grant Fund.
