About this event
Local community groups and voluntary organisations can apply for funding to improve their facilities, thanks to grants from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.
Following two successful years, the council has re-opened its Community Infrastructure Fund with a £700,000 pot available to organisations to apply for grants to improve current facilities making them more accessible to users, increase income and reduce costs, or make environmental improvements.
Grants of between £5,000 and £75,000 are available to successful applicants through the two-stage process. The deadline for the first stage of applications is 5pm on Friday 18th July 2025.
The scheme is designed to enable existing facilities to better meet the needs of their communities now and in the future, rather than funding new building projects. Since the grant scheme launched, 29 projects have benefited from over £700,000 in grants. Completed projects have included upgrades to toilets, kitchens and lighting, new doors, flooring, solar panels and the creation of two new community cafés.
Lisa Edwards from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council will provide details about the scheme criteria and how to apply and answer any questions that you may have.
More information about the fund criteria and application process is available on the council’s website at: www.basingstoke.gov.uk/infrastructurefund
