Grants for Family Summer Activities

Published: 27 July 2023

Lichfield City Council is allocating £10,000 of its Grants Reserve towards provision of summer activities for children and families.

In light of the cost-of-living crisis it is hoped that such grant provision will facilitate and expand events providing parents and families with an increased choice of free and low-cost activities during the school summer holidays.

Councillor Colin Ball, Chair of the City Council’s Grants Advisory Committee said:

“We know that there have been cutbacks across the board in services for children and young people over the past few years. This is an opportunity for the City Council to support children and families over the summer - a chance to see families having fun in these difficult times.”

Applicants can apply for a maximum of £2,000. However, consideration will be given to requests for higher amounts from community organisations who are seeking to provide additional staffing resources to support a co – ordinated effort with other partner organisations or authorities.

Anyone interested should complete the application form and email to enquiries@lichcield.gov.uk or send to the City Council Offices, Donegal House, Bore St, Lichfield, WS13 6LU
