Councillors' Locality Budgets

In 2025/2026, Suffolk's county councillors have been given a locality budget of £450,000, divided between them; each councillor has £6,000 to spend.

Councillors are able to make recommendations about funding from this budget for local projects in their division, which should benefit the community.

Last year groups and projects that benefitted included:

• village halls
• sports and social clubs
• toddler groups

How to apply for funding

If you have a project that needs funding, you can apply to your councillor for a locality budget grant.

Contact the county councillor who represents the area where your project is based, first.
