The aim of the Council when awarding these grants is to provide general grant support to the community that will benefit the socio-economic culture and environment of Bassetlaw.

Each District Councillor is allocated a small budget and has the discretion to award grants to community activities that will benefit the community within their respective electoral ward areas.  Councillors will consider grant applications for sports; culture and heritage; environment and sustainability; social welfare; and community activities.

Unsuccessful applicants will be unable to reapply to the Councillor Community Grants scheme in the same year.

Applications will only be accepted once the activity has been discussed with the ward member of Bassetlaw District Council.

Funding for the following, are unlikely to be considered:

• Activities which cover an area that is the primary responsibility of another funding agency
• Additional funding from Bassetlaw District Council
• Activities that do not support Bassetlaw residents
• Activities that promote religious belief or political activities
• Civic events
• Expenses that have already been incurred or retrospective funding
