Grassroots Community Grants – Applications Now Open
Warsop Parish Council is excited to announce that as part of the East Midlands Mayor's Community Development Funding, £9,000 a year, for three years is going into small grants for local community groups.
Published: 22 June 2026
The Mayor, Claire Ward, has chosen Market Warsop ward as one of her 10 priority areas in the East Midlands. These grants are called Grassroots Community Grants. They’re for groups, clubs, and organisations who have an idea to help…
- Bring people together
- Make life better for people living here
- Improve the area
The funding must be shown to benefit people in the Market Warsop ward, however groups and clubs based in other wards can apply if they can evidence the ward benefit.
There are two rounds proposed each year, and £4,500 to give out in each round. The first round opens this month, offering maximum awards of £1,500.
