Community Development Grants 2025-26 Now Open

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council’s Community Development Grants 2025-26 are now open for applications and will close at 4pm on Monday 16 December 2024. Up to £10,000 could be available to community/voluntary organisations who run community premises and deliver programmes throughout the year. For those community organisations (who do not run community premises) delivering a programme of activities throughout the year up to £5,000 could be available.

Those organisations who currently hold a grant for Community Facilities and/or Programme/Activities do not need to apply.

Four Grant Information Sessions will take place as follows:

Wednesday 13 November – Antrim Civic Centre: 6.30pm – 8.00pm

Monday 18 November – Mossley Mill: 11.00am – 12.30pm

Thursday 21 November – Mossley Mill: 6.30pm – 8.00pm

Places must be booked in advance by contacting Community Planning Business Support by E. cpbs@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk or T. 0300 123 4568.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Neil Kelly, commented, “I would encourage constituted community/voluntary groups who manage community premises and/or run year round community development programmes, and haven’t already applied for this funding to do so as it is a great opportunity to potentially secure funding to help with costs of running community facilities and programmes.”
