Grants

GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR 2026/27 ARE BEING ACCEPTED.

The Parish Council Grants Policy can be found at the bottom of this page. Please make sure you read this before submitting a grant application.

South Swindon Parish Council has set aside some funds to enable them to give grants to local organisations and charities.

The main requirement of providing a grant is for the organisation or charity to be able to demonstrate that the funds will be used to benefit some or all of the residents living in the parish.

The application form for grants is below. When completed, please complete this or post to: South Swindon Parish Council Office, Gladstone Street, Swindon, SN1 2AU. Please ensure that you have included:

• Full and complete copies of your signed, certified, and audited accounts for the last year. If your organisation has been in existence for less than that period, copies of your bank statements for last 3 months.

• A detailed budget plan and supporting evidence.

• Evidence of other awards towards the project, e.g., lottery funding, other bodies.

Without this information, your grant application will not be considered.

Once received, the grant application will be considered by the Parish Council’s Grants Working Party. They will then make representations to a future Finance & Staffing Committee or Full Parish Council Meeting for final decision. Applicants may be contacted for further information if necessary.
