Notice to all residents and community groups:

The Glenbrae Community Fund is now accepting applications for the 2026 grant round. Grants of between fifty and one thousand five hundred pounds are available to individuals, community groups, and organisations undertaking projects that benefit the village and its residents.

Eligibility and Criteria

The fund supports a wide range of activities, including but not limited to: community events and cultural activities, environmental and conservation projects, educational initiatives, improvements to community facilities, and projects that support vulnerable or isolated residents. Both new and existing projects are eligible to apply.
