Each year, Bridgwater Town Council allocates funds to support organisations, clubs, societies, and groups that help to build a sustainable community and economy for Bridgwater residents. These organisations often address unmet needs and enhance the cultural, social, and environmental fabric of the area.
Bridgwater Town Councils community grant scheme has been established to recognise and support these organisations and enable them to continue delivering their valuable services and the 2025-26 window for applications is now open.
Grant and sponsorship applications are reviewed twice a year at the Grants sub-Committee meeting. Applicants must be available to attend and present, or answer questions about their grant application during the scheduled Grants sub-Committee meeting.
Project Grants have a budget of £16,000 per year, £8,000 each round. The application window for Youth Led Grants, Venue Grants and Sponsorship will close once their yearly budget has been awarded.

Cllr Brian Smedley, Leader of Bridgwater Town Council and Chair of Communities committee said,
“Bridgwater Town Council grants scheme reflects our dedication to supporting local projects that make a positive impact on our town, providing much-needed resources to a wide range of initiatives, helping to enhance the quality of life for all residents. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these new opportunities.”
