The Mayor of Royal Leamington Spa, Cllr Ruggy Singh, said: "We are proud to announce that our Community Grant Fund has increased this year to £58,000. This will provide more opportunities for local non-profit organisations and community groups to secure funding to support them in 2026/27."

"The deadline for the first funding round is 15 May, so I encourage organisations to visit  our website, check their eligibility and apply for funding."

Local groups seeking guidance or support with their Community Grant applications are invited to attend a free "How To" Workshop on Saturday 18 April, from 11am-1pm at The YDNI Centre AT Cottage Square.
