THE WATFORD

COMMUNITY FUND

THE FUND IS HERE TO HELP THOSE IN MOST NEED IN OUR TOWN, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS. 

​

IT DOES THIS IN TWO WAYS – BY DIRECTLY FUNDRAISING FOR THE TOWN’S CHARITIES AND AWARDING GRANTS TO SUPPORT LOCAL ORGANISATIONS ON THE FRONTLINE. 

​

THE FUND IS NOW CLOSED AND WILL BE OPENING ON 1 SEPTEMBER 2026. 

OVER 100 CHARITIES HELPED!

How to apply for funding

Applications are now open. Current awards are particularly focused on activities or programmes to support vulnerable residents through the cost of living crisis.
