Community and voluntary sector groups

Community and voluntary sector groups (including town and parish councils under this programme) will be required to demonstrate that there is a local need which supports the project.

If the site is the only playing field based in a parish or village with no other playing field nearby, then the need for the project should be demonstrated through appropriate community consultation and engagement.

The maximum grant available is £50,000 and we would prefer to have some partnership funding or value in kind for the project.However, we recognise that some community and voluntary sector organisations may not be able to secure that, and in these cases we will not rule out the application.
