Devon County Council: Locality Budgets

Devon County Council continues to run its popular Locality Budgets scheme, with funding available for projects that benefit local communities in Devon.

Each County Councillor in Devon has an allocation of £5,000 for the year April 2023 to March 2024 to enable them to respond to local needs in their divisions, supporting projects or activities that benefit the communities they represent.

Projects should be in line with the County Council’s objectives and priorities:

  • Improve health and wellbeing
  • Help communities be safe, connected and resilient
  • Be ambitious for children and young people
  • Support sustainable economic recovery
  • Tackle poverty and inequality
  • Respond to the climate emergency

Applications are accepted from constituted and not-for-private-profit voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector groups and organisations, town and parish councils, charities or businesses (who have an eligible sponsor), or a combination of such groups working together. Refer to the website for more details about who can apply and exclusions.

All projects should include some other financial contribution(s) and/or local support.

If you are interested in applying for a contribution from the Locality Budgets please approach your County Councillor in the first instance.
