Up to £100,000 available from Cornwall Council for community projects
Cornwall Council say they want to support projects that bring communities together
Community groups across Cornwall can now apply for funding between £20,000 and £100,000 to support infrastructure projects that aim to connect and enhance local communities.
The funding comes from Cornwall Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Fund, which is open to community groups, town and parish councils, and not-for-profit organisations.
Cornwall Council say they want to support projects that bring communities together across the Duchy.
Sarah Preece, Cornwall Council cabinet member for tourism, localism and planning, said:
“We want to support projects that bring communities together. This could mean improving community spaces so more people can enjoy them, or creating better links between places so it’s easier to get around and feel connected.
"For example, adding or upgrading footpaths, and improving local areas for play, learning, and activities.”
Expressions of Interest must be submitted by Friday 27th February.
Shortlisted proposals will then be invited to complete full applications.
Since its launch in 2020, the CIL Fund has awarded over £5.8 million to 87 projects across Cornwall, supporting initiatives such as accessible paths, cycle routes, youth centres, schools, football pitches, and skate and play parks.
