News on Watford Neighbourhood Grant

Building on the resounding success of last year's Neighbourhood Grant programme, the council is once again providing grants from its £300,000 funding pot to empower community groups and initiatives to bring their impactful ideas to life.

The funding – which is managed by the council and available on an annual basis – is generated from a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) that developers pay on new housing developments in the borough. Its purpose is to support local projects that address the impact of new development and ensure local people benefit from sustainable growth in the borough.

For those interested in applying for the funding this year, please visit watfordgrantform.commonplace.is to find detailed information about the application process, eligibility criteria, and guidelines.

REMINDER: The final drop-in session at the Town Hall Annexe Building (Studio Room) from 2.30pm to 6pm will be on Thursday 23 November for prospective applicants to find out more about the Neighbourhood Grant. Please NCIL@watford.gov.uk if you have any questions. There will be signage on the day highlighting the session.
