Local groups and organisations in Stone are being invited to apply for funding through Stone Town Council’s next round of community grants.
Each year, the town council sets aside money to support local projects, activities and services, with funding usually awarded in two rounds. The next round will be considered early in the new year.
Applications will be reviewed by the council’s General Purposes Committee at its meeting on Tuesday 3 February 2026. Groups hoping to be considered will need to submit a fully completed application by mid January.
Grants are available to a wide range of local organisations, including voluntary groups, charities and community projects that benefit people in Stone. Previous rounds have supported everything from community activities and events to local services and equipment purchases.
How to apply
To be considered at the February meeting, completed application forms must be received by no later than Wednesday 14 January 2026.
Applications can be submitted in two ways. Paper copies can be delivered or posted to Stone Town Council offices at 15 Station Road, Stone, ST15 8JP.
Alternatively, applications can be emailed to clerk@stonetowncouncil.gov.uk. Forms should be submitted either as a Microsoft Word document or as an Adobe Acrobat PDF.
Application forms are available in both formats. Groups can request a copy by emailing the clerk, or download the forms:
Application form in Microsoft Word
Application form in Adobe Acrobat – Fillable
Getting help
Groups that are unsure whether they are eligible, or need help completing the form, are encouraged to contact the town council before applying.
Hard copy application forms are also available on request for organisations that prefer not to apply digitally.
Further information is available by contacting Stone Town Council on 01785 619740 or by visiting the council offices on Station Road.
The deadline is firm, and late applications will not be considered for this round, so groups are advised to allow plenty of time to complete and submit their forms.
For many smaller organisations, these grants can make a real difference, helping to fund activities, equipment or services that would otherwise be difficult to deliver locally.
