Notes
50% match funding required. RE-ATTEMPTED (23 Aug 2026): officialUrl (chichester.gov.uk/sustainable-support-grant-programme), the alternative slug (chichester.gov.uk/sustainable-support-grant), and a third candidate application URL (chichester.gov.uk/article/39509/Apply-for-a-sustainable-support-grant, found via fresh search) all still 404 on both WebFetch and a direct browser fetch. However, this pass found the council's own live news article confirming the launch in more detail (chichester.gov.uk/article/39897, dated 23 May 2025, mentions the Rural England Prosperity Fund strand and a separate 'sustainability grant funding' strand under UKSPF) plus contemporaneous press coverage (Sussex Express, published 5 June 2026) with a fuller eligibility breakdown than previously recorded: a minor grant (up to £2,000, 75% funded, ≤10 FTE employees) and a major grant (up to £7,500, 50% funded, ≤50 FTE employees) — refining the flat '2-40 employees' figure previously on file. A launch/'lunch and learn' event was held 17 June 2026 with strong council promotion (Cllr Harsha Desai quoted), which argues against a quiet cancellation, but no live application page could be found to confirm the scheme is still accepting applications in August. Still flagged for review rather than confidently marked open or closed.
Requirement
Business with 2 to 40 employees, based in commercial premises within Chichester District, applying for sustainability-related investment.
