Herefordshire Council and Worcestershire County Council Grants

Herefordshire and Worcestershire Microgrants Scheme

Herefordshire Council and Worcestershire County Council

If you have an idea that could bring people together where you live, this small grant could help. Herefordshire Council offers the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Microgrants Scheme through its joint suicide prevention programme with Worcestershire. The scheme is now open for 2026. You can get up to £250 towards a new or existing project. The money is for activity that helps connect people, builds stronger communities and supports positive mental health and wellbeing. It can pay for goods or a service. It can help you start something new or improve a group or project that already runs. The scheme suits individuals, community groups and small volunteer-led charities and organisations with a turnover of less than £100,000. You must be based in Herefordshire or Worcestershire. Herefordshire Council wants ideas that come from local people. It believes the best ways to improve wellbeing and keep people connected start in communities. One example is Hereford Men's Mental Group, which has benefited from a micro grant. Applying is simple. You fill in an application form. If you would rather talk your idea through first, you can email the team for an informal chat. Keep in mind that the scheme is small. Around 15 projects are funded each year, so make it clear how your activity will help people where you live. Your activity must take place in Herefordshire or Worcestershire, and it must be led by residents.
