The Parish Council provides grants to local organisations. These are normally groups that are run by or for the people of Buckland Brewer or organisations that can demonstrate that local residents benefit from their services. Applicants will be asked to submit a short explanation of what they intend to use the grant for, how much they need and their other fund-raising activities. They will also be asked to supply a set of the last two years’ audited/examined accounts. You can download an application form here.
For more information or to apply for a grant, please contact the Parish Clerk by email at clerk@bucklandbrewer.org.uk or through the contact page. You can download a copy of the Council’s Grant Awarding Policy 2023
