Leighton-Linslade Town Council community grants available now

General Grants

Your organisation could be eligible for grant aid of up to £500 for specific projects provided your group meets the following criteria:

• has not already received a grant from the Town Council for 2025-2026
• is a not-for-profit group
• can use the grant within one year on a specific project (not day-to-day running costs)
• has aims and objectives that are clear and well defined and are a real benefit to the community of Leighton-Linslade
• has a bank or building society account with at least two joint signatories
• has a constitution or set of rules
• has annual accounts or a statement of income and expenditure
• has a clear financial need
• has an awareness of the effect of the project on the environment.

Start-Up Grants

Grants of up to £250 are also available for start-up groups. We will need to know:

• why you want to start the group and how it will be continued
• how much support you have from people wanting to join or run the group
• how you know there is a need

Organisations which have previously received a grant must produce a report and evidence regarding use of that grant before the new application can be assessed.

You can see further details and apply for a grant on the Town Council’s website ( www.leightonlinslade-tc.gov.uk).

The closing date for applications is 26 October 2025.

Note: Applications from organisations representing the arts or sports should apply separately to the Arts Forum ( www.llaf.org.uk) and Sports Council respectively ( https://leightonlinsladesports.com/)
