Community groups in Lichfield and Burntwood are being invited to apply for new micro-grants scheme.

The Councillor Local Community Fund has been launched by Lichfield District Council.

It will see £300 allocated to each of the 47 ward councillors each year to help support local activities in the shape of small grants.

Groups can apply to receive between £50 and £300 between 12th July and 30th November.

Individuals can also apply for funding, provided they can show the application is on behalf of a local community project or activity.

Cllr Richard Cox, cabinet member for community engagement, said:

> “I’m delighted to be launching this community fund.  
>  
> “It will allow district councillors to have even more involvement in their wards and will help empower local residents so they can be active in their community.  
>  
> “I’m looking forward to seeing what activities and projects are planned and will be very pleased that I, along with all our district councillors, can help them make a difference to the local community.”  
>  
> Cllr Richard Cox, Lichfield District Council

The payments will be made by the Community Foundation for Staffordshire after councillors [criticised a previous plan](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/lichfield-councillor-says-she-will-not-accept-money-direct-into-bank-account-as-part-of-new-grants-scheme-plan/) for the money to be paid directly from their own bank accounts.
