Funding available for voluntary and community groups

The Foreshore Trust has funding available for smaller voluntary and community groups who are carrying out activities, services and events between October 2024 and September 2025.

The grants of up to £6,000 come from the Foreshore Trust's surplus income. The grants are available for groups that benefit and support the local community within Hastings and St Leonards.

Applications are now open and will close at noon on Monday 5 August.

The Foreshore Trust owns the foreshore land between Bulverhythe and the Stade and is run by the council on behalf of the Trust. The trust makes an income through the car parks and amusements on its land.

Cllr Tony Collins, Chair of the Foreshore Trust, said: "I am looking forward to seeing the applications for this funding. We have a wide range of community groups in Hastings who do excellent work and who would benefit from some additional financial support. In the past Foreshore Trust grants have supported Care for the Carers, Counselling Plus, community and sports clubs and Hastings Advice and Representation Centre (HARC)."
