Community Grant Fund criteria and guidance

The Rivers Run Through Us Community Grant Fund was a pilot scheme for 2025/26 offering small grants to support community-led projects in the Kit Brook and Forton Brook areas.

It’s designed to help community groups –whether you’re focused on wildlife, education, arts, or heritage – understand the criteria and guidance for applying for up to £5,000 to support activities that benefit local rivers and communities.
