Prudhoe Town Council Annual Grant Aid 2025-2026 Now Open for Applications

Prudhoe Town Council aims to promote and protect the quality of life and well-being of those who live in, work in, or visit the local area.  To this end, the Council offers grants to local organisations which are based in or provide services to Prudhoe and Mickley to help them maintain and develop their services, facilities, and activities.

We have a long-standing tradition of supporting sports clubs, charities, and community groups. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of our Annual Grant Aid Funding process for the 2025/2026 financial year.

Is Your Organisation Eligible? Our Annual Grant Aid Funding is intended for voluntary, non-profit organisations based in Prudhoe providing services to our residents. Eligible groups typically include:

• Sports clubs
• Play/youth groups
• Arts organisations
• Community Groups
• Charities assisting disadvantaged/vulnerable populations

Grant Aid can be used for capital (e.g. purchasing tools and equipment) or revenue expenditure (e.g. running costs) and/or as ‘start-up’ funding for new bodies.  However, within these broad categories, organisations must provide details that clearly set out how Grant Aid will be used.

When allocating Grant Aid, the Council will consider each case on its merits and give priority to those groups providing services and facilities and/or fulfilling a role where there are currently ‘gaps’ in provision. However, the Council will consider requests for Grant Aid outside these target groups.

All applications received before the closing date of midday on Monday 31 March 2025 will be reviewed initially by the Finance Committee who will then make a recommendation to Full Council.

Grant Aid awards are likely to be agreed at the April Full Council meeting on Thursday 24 April 2025, however this is subject to change.
