Grant Funding Programme for 2026/27

Welcome to Redditch Borough Council’s Voluntary & Community Sector

Main Grant Pot - VCS groups can bid for funding from £500 up to £10,000 to help with their core costs or to support them to deliver great community projects and activities. This year the Council ring fenced £10,000 of this funding to create a separate pot for Lower grant applications, from £500 to £2,000. The remainder of the Main Grants Pot (approximately £90k) was for Higher applications – grants over £2,000 and up to £10,000.
