What is the Grants Fund?

Every year Alvechurch Parish Council sets aside money within the budget for the Grants Fund, aimed to benefit people and projects local to the Villages of Alvechurch.

Who can apply?

What will not be funded?

Activities that are part of statutory obligations.
Loan repayments.
Retrospective applications where the activity or project has already been carried out (unless Council notified in advance).
Religious or political activities unless unrestricted community benefit can be demonstrated.
