Main grants scheme for village halls
Grants up to £75,000 to support larger improvement projects to rural community buildings in England such as full refits and extensions
The scheme is for those responsible for rural community buildings who wish to make substantive improvements to their building, whether that be extensions or improving energy efficiency and contributing to Net Zero.
Awards can be made to cover 20% of eligible project costs, from £7,500 to a maximum amount of £75,000. Projects must therefore be to the value of £37,500 or more with the 80% balance of funding being provided from other sources.
We will be closing the Fund for new Stage 1 applications on 12 August to process those in the system. We currently have more applications than the amount of funding available. We will review the situation in September.
