Overview

Champion Grants support eligible projects linked to a Lancashire county council Champion’s remit. The minimum award is £100, with no fixed applicant maximum stated; each Champion’s remaining budget limits awards. New Armed Forces and Veterans applications are currently paused while revised arrangements are finalised. Other Champion routes have separate remits.

Requirements to check

Key requirements:

  • The Armed Forces and Veterans route is paused.
  • The £10,000 allocation and possible £2,500 carry-over are Champion budgets, not published applicant award ceilings.

Eligible not-for-profit organisations need governing rules and an organisational bank account. Parish councils can apply, but individuals, educational institutions and most statutory bodies cannot. Projects must benefit the community and fit the relevant Champion’s work. Core costs and retrospective spending are excluded.

This summary may not include every exclusion. Check the full eligibility rules, including who and what the funder will not support.
