Small grants for village halls

Grants up to £5,000 to help make modest improvements to rural community buildings in England such as boiler replacements, insulation, toilet upgrades and new kitchens
We are pleased to be able to offer a small number of grants to make it easier and quicker for groups to make modest improvements to buildings. This is part of the Platinum Jubilee Village Halls Fund which was first announced in 2022 in celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee.
Awards can be made to cover 20% of eligible project costs, up to a maximum amount of £5,000. The balance of funding for the works proposed must be in place or at least confirmed within 6 weeks of making an application to the small grants fund.
We recommend you only apply to the fund once the project is ready to proceed, and you have everything in place.
