Devon County Council’s Locality Budgets 2025/26 will soon be opening for applications for funding to support projects that benefit local communities in Devon. Each County Councillor in Devon has a Locality Budget allocation of £8,000 that they can use in this financial year (until March 2026).
Devon County Council Members can use their Locality Budget to support good causes in the area that they represent such as projects to address loneliness, increase access to healthy activities, help people experiencing food poverty or enhance public spaces.
Applications are accepted from constituted and not-for-private-profit voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector groups and organisations, town and parish councils, charities or businesses (that have an eligible sponsor), or a combination of such groups working together. Refer to the website for more details about who can apply and exclusions.
All projects should include some other financial contribution(s) and/or local support.
If you are interested in applying for a contribution from the Locality Budgets please approach your County Councillor in the first instance. You can find contact details for your County Councillor here: Your Councillors – Democracy in Devon
