Grants to Local Community Groups

Stoke Gifford Parish Council promotes an active community in Stoke Gifford by awarding grants annually to non-profit making organisations. These organisations work for the benefit of Stoke Gifford parishioners, with the intention of improving the range of services and activities in the parish. Applications are particularly welcome from community groups and activities that respond to the climate and ecological crisis.

The Parish Council recognises and supports the valuable contribution made by the voluntary sector to the wellbeing of the community. Many groups have benefited from grant assistance in the past.
