Description

Lichfield District Council want to fund projects/activities that will impact our 4 strategic plan outcomes, and address where our Voluntary and Community Sector Fund can make a difference and meet the needs of target groups.

We would particularly welcome new or innovative approaches and
organisations working together with Lichfield District Council and other partners, to combine skills and expertise.

The total amount of funding available is £163,000 per year over a total of 3 years 2024-2027, a total value of £489,000. We want to award funding across all areas, with no indicative value set against each outcome. The minimum award per organisation will be £1,000 per year and we are unlikely to award an organisation more than £50,000 per year.
