Hailsham Town Council awards grants to a wide range of community and voluntary groups (used/accessed by Hailsham residents) that aim to introduce new or improved facilities, activities or projects, for the benefit of the town.

Small grants can make a significant difference to community organisations when planning and funding a worthwhile project. Hailsham Town Council welcome applications from the voluntary sector.

The deadline for 2025/2026 grant applications has now passed. However, due to an underspend in the 2025/26 grants budget, a second round of grant applications will commence later this year whereby the remaining £3,784 (with a starting budget of £16,000) will be shared amongst successful applicants. The new deadline for applications will be announced soon.
