Applications are being invited for groups and organisations to receive funding to support community projects across the Bath area.
Proposals can now be submitted to Round 18 of B&NES Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Neighbourhood Fund for projects that enhance community infrastructure and address neighbourhood priorities.
The fund supports initiatives in Bath, including improvements to parks, community centres, and local amenities.
Projects which received funding in recent rounds include a Ride to Work by Bike project by Transition Bath, youth work sessions by Youth Connect South West and playpark improvements at Alice Park.
Applications to Round 18 will close on 29th August 2025. You can find out more and apply here.
CIL is a planning charge payable on new building developments to be spent on projects that benefit the community.
Bath & North East Somerset Council administers CIL funding in Bath. In North East Somerset, town and parish councils are responsible for allocating the portion of the levy they receive.
Councillor Kevin Guy, leader of Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “We are excited to invite applications for the Community Infrastructure Levy Neighbourhood Fund which provides a fantastic opportunity for local communities to bring their ideas to life, making a real difference in their neighbourhoods.
“I encourage everyone with a vision for improving infrastructure in their local area to apply and take advantage of this valuable resource.”
