Grant types
General Grants
Aylesbury Town Council has grants available for funding a project or activity. The Town Council grants are awarded at the discretion of the Grants Committee, and match funded up to 50% of costs to maximum of £2,000; unless the Grants Committee decides that there are exceptional reasons to award a higher grant. Grants can be awarded to support a project, event or service, or to purchase equipment to help your group provide services to its users. Other funding can come from your own fundraising, existing resources or grants from other organisations.
Social & Emotional Wellbeing Needs Grants
The Town Council provides funding to outside bodies as part of the Town Council’s commitment to improving public wellbeing, as exemplified in its support for creating a dementia-friendly community.
The grant funding is to help support the social and emotional wellbeing needs within Aylesbury Town and among its diverse communities.
The criteria excludes projects working solely to address physical health needs, although “social and/or emotional” probably wellbeing interventions may have measurable secondary physical health benefits.
Sports Grants
Aylesbury Town Council wants to support young people in sport and wishes to give young people in Aylesbury, with high competitive spirit, as much encouragement as possible to fulfil their sporting potential. Aylesbury Town Council provides a sports grant budget as an opportunity for young sports persons who have demonstrated a high level of achievement representing their sport either at national or international events.
