Grants

The Stevenage Community Trust gives grants from £50 to £2,000 to individuals, communities and voluntary groups in Stevenage and the surrounding villages.  Sometimes just a small amount of money can make an enormous difference to people’s lives.

A Grants Committee, drawn from members of the local community meets four times a year to assess all grant requests but the Trust can and does react to individuals in need speedily.  It does this with referrals from Third Party Agencies.  We are unique in that we can offer this service to those most in need.
