Grant Aid

At Epping Forest District Council, we help local groups, organisations and individuals to be successful in their chosen field by providing financial help, grant aid, to people involved in community work, cultural activities or sport.

Grants for Groups

Only a set amount of money is available every year so we give priority to groups whose activities support the Council’s work in our priority areas.

These may vary over time but typically might include some of the following:

Children and young people,
Safer communities,
Environmental projects,
Elderly, disadvantaged and/or disabled people,
Improving people’s quality of life,
Encouraging people to take part in cultural and leisure activities.
