Bristol City Council offers annual funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy for community projects. This money comes from fees paid by developers when they build new homes or buildings. Local councillors decide which projects get funding through area committees. You can apply for money to improve community centres, parks, or other local facilities. Your project must be in an area where new development is happening. The amount available varies each year depending on how much development takes place.
Who can apply:
Key requirements:
- Project must be in area where development is happening
- Must be approved by local area committee
This funding is for community groups and organisations running projects in Bristol areas where new development is taking place. You need a project that benefits the local community, such as improving community centres or parks. It is not for areas without recent development activity.
