Bishop Auckland Town Council offers Community Fund grants to support local organisations working for the benefit of the residents of Bishop Auckland. Community groups and local charities are invited to apply for grants of up to £1,000.

Grants are limited and are made available to local groups and organisations that can demonstrate a need for assistance that would benefit the Bishop Auckland area and its Residents.
A grant cannot be awarded to individuals, commercial businesses, political organisations or for the promotion of religious activities.

Submitting and application does not guarantee that a grant can be awarded, as each project is considered by Committee and is based on its own merits.

A copy of the Application Form and Policy and Guidance is available for download below:

There are notes on the right hand side of the application form, which offer advice on completing each section. Section 5 of the application requires applicants to include the relevant supporting documentation.
