Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Neighbourhood Fund (Gloucester)

Description

Gloucester City Council capital funding from Community Infrastructure Levy receipts collected on new development, for projects that improve community facilities, wellbeing, the local environment, or celebrate cultural diversity. Smaller project ideas of up to £3,000 and larger grants of up to £15,000 are both considered, on a rolling basis.

Eligibility summary

• Available in: England.
• Open to individuals — not restricted to businesses.
• Most relevant to: Charity & Nonprofit.

Notes

Applicants must email grants@gloucester.gov.uk with their ward councillor(s) copied in. Larger grants (up to £15,000) may face more competition/scrutiny than the smaller up-to-£3,000 tier. RE-ATTEMPTED (23 Aug 2026): the officialUrl still returns a genuine 404, reconfirmed via both WebFetch and a fresh browser fetch. The council's community-grants index page (gloucester.gov.uk/community-living/community-grants/) still renders with almost no body content — same mid-restructure state as before. Re-checked the differently-scoped 'Neighbourhood Environment Improvement Fund' directly this pass: it is live and confirmed as a genuinely separate, narrower scheme (grants up to £3,000, for City Council-owned parks/open spaces projects only, decided by a six-weekly panel) with no mention of superseding the CIL Neighbourhood Fund — not substituted in here. No live page with this fund's own current terms could be found anywhere on the council's site. Could not confirm current status with confidence — re-verify directly with Gloucester City Council before referring users.

Requirement

Community group, voluntary organisation, or resident with a capital project idea benefiting a Gloucester neighbourhood, matching one of the fund's themes (community facilities, wellbeing, environment, cultural diversity).
