MORE than £15,000 has been shared between 11 local charities and organisations by Leamington Town Council in its latest round of Community Grant Funding.
The council holds three rounds of community grant awards each year in June, September, and December. The grants, of up to £2,000 per award, are available to non-profit organisations and local groups to assist with specific projects.
This was the second round of grants awarded for 2025. In this second round, the town council allocated just over £15,000 to worthy community activities which, combined with the June awards, brings the funding this year so far to almost £32,000.
Grants in this round were given to projects including Leamington Scouts for camp crafting, Holy Trinity PCC for a hall acoustics upgrade, New Chapters to provide furniture for its group room and Beyond the Bump towards its coffee club.
The deadline for the final 2025 round of the Community Grant Funding is Friday December 5.
Town mayor Coun Ruggy Singh, said: “I am delighted to have witnessed some wonderful outcomes from the town council’s community grant fund recently, including The Esther Project’s ‘Patchwork Cape’ showcase, which I had the pleasure of attending.
“It is fantastic to know that so many local projects are benefiting from this support for the people of Leamington. We now have one final round of funding available in 2025, and I encourage local community and voluntary groups who have not yet applied this year to take part. More information is available on our new town council website.”
