Living Streets grant
Plymouth City Council
The Living Streets grant is run by Plymouth City Council. It lets Councillors direct funding to resolve highways related issues in their wards. The money is aimed at problems on local highways, and ward Councillors decide where it goes. This makes it a good fit if there is a highways issue in your part of Plymouth that you would like to see put right. Because Councillors direct the funding, it is tied to individual wards across the city. One practical point to keep in mind is that this grant is for highways related issues only. If your idea is a wider community project, it is unlikely to fit here. The council lists Living Streets alongside its other community and local grants, which support local community groups and voluntary sector organisations in Plymouth. These include the City Change Fund, which supports projects for local people. They also include Councillor community grants, which give each Councillor an annual allocation to help not-for-profit groups and organisations in the city. Grants for the armed forces community are listed too. One of these may suit you better if your project is not about highways. If you would like help with funding more generally, the council suggests contacting the Plymouth Octopus Project (POP). POP offers support and advice about how your organisation can apply for funding. Official source: https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/community-and-local-grants.

Councillor community grants
Plymouth City Council
Plymouth City Council gives councillors an annual grant allocation. They use it for projects that help not-for-profit groups and organisations in the city. This listing suits local community groups and voluntary sector organisations in Plymouth. If your group is not-for-profit and works in the city, it is worth a look. The funder's page gives a short description only, so treat it as a starting point rather than a full guide. Support is available before you apply. The Plymouth Octopus Project (POP) offers support and advice about how your organisation can apply for funding. Getting in touch early is a sensible first step, especially if you are new to applying for grants. The council's community and local grants page lists other routes too. The Living Streets grant lets councillors direct funding to highways issues in their wards. The City Change Fund supports projects for local people. There are also pages for Armed Forces grants and the UK Community Renewal Fund. If your idea does not fit councillor grants, one of these may suit it better. You do not need to read everything before you start. Begin with the Councillor community grants entry on the council's page, then speak to POP about the best way to put your application together.

Armed Forces grants
Plymouth City Council
Plymouth City Council offers grants for projects that benefit the armed forces community. This includes military personnel, veterans, and their families. The funding supports initiatives that make a difference to this community in the South West of England.
City Change Fund
Plymouth City Council
The City Change Fund is listed by Plymouth City Council on its community and local grants page. The page says the fund supports projects for local people. It sits under a heading that also mentions crowdfunding. The wider page is for local community groups and voluntary sector organisations looking for grants and funding in Plymouth. If you are thinking of applying, the council points you to the Plymouth Octopus Project (POP). You can contact POP for support and advice about how your organisation can apply for funding. The page gives no award amount, closing date or opening date for the City Change Fund. It is a short listing rather than a full guidance page, so it is worth speaking to POP before you plan your project. The same page lists other sources of support in the city. These include the Living Streets grant, which lets councillors direct funding to highways issues in their wards, and councillor community grants, which help not-for-profit groups and organisations in the city. It also points to the UK Community Renewal Fund on the Visit Plymouth website and to grants for the armed forces community. A practical point: because the page says so little about the City Change Fund itself, getting advice from POP first is the sensible way to find out whether your idea is a good fit.
