Section 137 Grant Funding – 2025/26

Each year, Councils set aside a limited budget to support local projects and activities that deliver clear benefits to our community. This funding is provided under Section 137 of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows parish councils to offer financial support where no other specific funding power exists, provided the expenditure is in the interests of, and brings direct benefit to, our residents.

As a newly formed council, we are proud that in our first year we have already supported:

• The Village Halls Trust (Red House) – funding the Summer Playscheme activities for local young children.
• Albrighton Sports Complex – contributing towards improved disability facilities.
• Citizens Advice Bureau – helping ensure this vital service remains available to our community and surrounding parishes who are registered at Albrighton Medical Practice.

We are always keen to hear from local voluntary groups, charities, and community organisations who have ideas to enhance life in Albrighton and Donington.
