About The Community Council Of Shropshire

The Community Council Of Shropshire supports very small, local voluntary and community groups that are just starting up or operating on a limited budget. Its funding is designed to strengthen grassroots capacity in Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin through practical support for core running costs, training, volunteer expenses, and basic equipment. The funder appears especially focused on helping community-led organizations become established and sustainable rather than backing large programs or established institutions.

Giving Approach

Small, one-off grants through the Shropshire Grassroots Fund, typically £300 for new start-ups and up to £1,000 for established small groups. Funding is targeted to organizations with low turnover or under 12 months old, and is aimed at practical, capacity-building needs rather than large project awards.

How to approach this funder

Check eligibility carefully: groups must be based in the service area and typically be either new start-ups under 12 months old or small organizations with annual turnover under £50,000. Use the application to clearly show local benefit for Shropshire/Telford & Wrekin residents and specify how the grant will strengthen your group’s capacity, such as covering core costs, training, volunteer expenses, or essential equipment.
