Each year, Seaford Town Council invites local community groups, charities and voluntary organisations to apply for a financial grant from the Town Council.
In the 2024/25 Grants Scheme the Town Council was delighted to be able to support nineteen local community organisations, with grants totalling £22,718.
There are two types of grants available; small grants of up to £500 or larger grants over £500, up to a maximum of £3,000. Terms and conditions apply which are set out within the Town Council’s Discretionary Grants Policy.
In previous years, grants have been awarded for a variety of projects including help towards: replacing a number of Junior Boats for Cuckmere Valley Canoe Club; funding to Family Support Work (FSW) towards the costs for home-visits offering practical & emotional support to vulnerable families living in Seaford; replacement of two rear windows, one for each dwelling in Eadric House for the Bishopstone United Charity; Seaford Bonfire Society’s provision of medical emergency professionals along with assisting the costs of event security.
Certain criteria must be met to be eligible for a community grant, these are set out in the Town Council’s Discretionary Grants Policy. This policy and all details including the application form can be found on the Town Council’s website:
