Grants and Community Projects

The Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service work with communities, local businesses and rural industries on numerous projects.

These include landscape, conservation, access, information and business improvements and ventures.

We hope to be able to fund the Lincolnshire Wolds Grant Scheme in 2024-25.

All projects must be within the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and must be completed, with the paperwork signed off, by the end of February 2025 in order to meet the end of financial year deadlines.

Applications are open to businesses, community and voluntary groups and public sector organisations with a bank account and an e-mail account. We are offering help in funding opportunities for projects that can deliver actions from the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB Management Plan, with potential applicants advised to contact the Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service early to guide them through the process. Previously funded projects include community facility improvements and events, landscape improvements, economic activity and raising awareness.

Please see below for guidance and an application form – do not hesitate to contact us for advice and support with your potential project.
