Frampton Cotterell Parish Council Community Grants
Every year, Frampton Cotterell Parish Council awards grants to non-profit community groups and charities. These grants are awarded to help promote an active and engaged community in Frampton Cotterell by providing financial support to the small local groups who work with tireless dedication for the good of our village.
How We Can Help
If your group or charity supports local families in need, tackles climate & nature issues, organises community activities and entertainment for local people, helps keep our village beautiful and tidy, or focuses on any other community-benefiting cause, we are here to offer our support!
Non-profit charities and community groups in the local area may be eligible for one of our community grants. These grants provide financial assistance to local groups to aid in their plans, projects, or purchases that benefit the parish and our parishioners. In the past, we have had the pleasure of supporting wonderful organisations such as the FACE Youth Group and the Frampton Cotterell Male Voice Choir.
