Teignbridge District Council

Councillors' Community Fund

Each Teignbridge district councillor has £1,000 in 2026/27 to give to not-for-profit community groups and organisations for one-off projects in their ward that make a positive difference for the community. Requests should be at least £150, and councillors can combine their allocations for projects costing more than £1,000. You apply to a specific councillor; the page lists how much each one has left.
