Community Events Grants Open for Applications

New Community Events Grants, funded by the Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, are open for applications.

Bromsgrove District Council is making grants available of up to £5,000 to registered community organisations and consortiums of businesses to deliver events in community spaces in the District.

Leader of Bromsgrove District Council and Portfolio Holder for Economic Development and Regeneration, Cllr Karen May, said: “Grants like the Community Events grant are essential for local organisations to be able to hold events and deliver for their communities, in their communities, and we are very proud to support that.”

Grants are available to fund new events or to cover the costs of increasing capacity of existing events. Each event must come under one of the following categories:

  • Film, TV, Music, Radio
  • Heritage, Arts, Museums and Libraries
  • Culture
  • Sports
  • Volunteering and Social Action

Eligible expenditure for the grant funding includes venue hire, marketing, licences, performers, staffing costs, and equipment & facility hire.

The allocation of grants is on a first come, first served basis and is subject to available funding. All grant funded events must be delivered by 28 February 2026.

Applicants must complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) form prior to applying for the grant. To request a copy of the EOI & application forms or for further information please email ukspf@bromsgroveandredditch.gov.uk

Applications will be open in rounds, EOI’s can be submitted at any time, but full applications can only be submitted when a funding round is open.

The first round of applications is open until 18th June and subsequent rounds will be subject to available funding.
