Brazier Trust Community Grants Programme
Bishop’s Stortford Town Council as a Trustee of the Brazier Trust currently offers grants to a wide variety of organisations that help to maintain opportunities for the residents of Bishop’s Stortford.
The Brazier Trust grants are typically in the range £200-£5000.
Grants may be made for capital purposes, one off projects, or for non-recurring revenue support.
The Trust will not normally provide grants for services that should be funded by other statutory authorities, political purposes, or to supplement any shortfall in expenditure incurred by another authority. The Trust cannot guarantee a grant to any organisation or individual and will normally expect to distribute grants to a variety of organisations, meaning a potentially smaller amount is awarded than that applied for.
The Trust reserves the right to decline any application or to apply conditions to the grant and also, if a grant is awarded, to reclaim part or the entirety of a grant if it is not satisfied that it has been spent in accordance with the application and/or conditions applied.
The grants are submitted to the Town Council Meetings.
The dates of these meetings for 2026 are:
Monday 2nd February 2026
Monday 16th March 2026
Monday 22nd June 2026
Monday 5th October 2026
Monday 7th December 2026
A more detailed explanation, along with the application form, can be downloaded below.
Applications must be received two weeks prior to the scheduled Town Council meetings.
