Placemaking Grant (Community Project)

Placemaking is about creating great places that people love. This might be through how they look or how they are used. It is about strengthening the connection between people and the places we share, and creating public spaces where we feel welcome (and want to return to). Most importantly, it puts people first. If you have a great idea for your community, we want to hear from you.

Placemaking Grant Objectives

The Placemaking Grant helps local people create projects that bring neighbours together and make public spaces better. These small grants support community-led ideas that improve shared spaces and help people feel proud of their neighbourhood.

This grant is here to:

1. Give funding to help locals run their own projects
2. Support people to work together and build a stronger, more connected community

You can apply for a grant if your project helps to:

• Make public spaces fun, welcoming and useful
• Bring more life to town centres and streets
• Help people feel part of the community
• Make streets nicer and easier to walk through
• Support learning, leadership and inclusion
• Celebrate your local area and its people

We encourage simple, low-cost ideas that make a big difference.
