Time is running out for community groups in Lichfield and Burntwood to apply for funding from a small grants scheme.

The Councillor Local Community Fund sees elected representatives at Lichfield District Council distribute grants of between £50 and £300.

Since it launched in July, the scheme has seen around £9,000 handed out to community groups.

The fund is part of Lichfield District Council’s two-year pilot scheme that sees all 47 district councillors each receive £300 to distribute each year.

Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of Lichfield District Council, said:

> “We don’t want any local groups to miss out on a small grant because they were unaware the funding is available to them, which is why we’re encouraging them to apply now.  
>  
> “From buying equipment to helping put on an event, a small grant can be used for a whole range of things to benefit the local community.  
>  
> “It’s great to see the fund already having a positive impact on local groups, and we’re looking forward to finding out what other community projects are planned across the district.”  
>  
> Cllr Doug Pullen, Lichfield District Council

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

The application period for 2021 will close on 30th November.
