About Community Funding
Budock Parish Council wants to support local projects and activities that make a positive difference to our community.
The Council can award funding where it has the legal power to do so. This includes Section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows councils to support activities that benefit their communities where no other specific statutory power applies. The benefit to the community must be proportionate to the amount spent.
Through our Community Funding Scheme, eligible charities, community groups, voluntary organisations, clubs and other not-for-profit organisations can apply for financial support for projects that benefit people living in Budock.
Funding may be available for a range of projects, including community events, improvements to local facilities, sports and youth activities, health and wellbeing initiatives, and environmental projects.
All applications are considered by Full Council. Decisions take into account the benefit to the community, the need for the project, value for money and the organisation’s ability to deliver it. Any award depends on available funds and the relevant legal requirements. Some projects may also qualify for funding through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Scheme, subject to the specific legal requirements.
