Annual Grants
Community Grants Scheme
Bridport Town Council’s grant scheme is now open. Grants are awarded each year to local charitable, voluntary or other similar bodies. They are not for private organisations or individuals. For 2025/26, the Town Council particularly welcomes, but not exclusively, applications that demonstrate a benefit in terms of youth and young people.
A PDF version of the application form and guidance is available for download here, and a Word version can be downloaded here. If you would like a paper copy please call 01308 456722. The closing date for applications is Thursday 21st August 2025 at 5pm. Late applications will not be accepted.
West Bay Car Boot Sale Grants Scheme
The Town Council manages the West Bay Car Boot Sale, and distributes the funds generated from pitch fees in the form of grants to community and voluntary organisations whose work benefits people living in the Bridport Local Area Partnership area. Applications normally open in November, with grants awarded in February/March.
The Car Boot Sale Grants Scheme is currently closed. The closing date for applications was
Monday 6 January 2025, at 9.00am.
Bridport Town Council awards grants each year to local organisations that work for the benefit of the town. The grants are intended for charitable, voluntary or similar bodies and not for private organisations or individuals. We operate two grants schemes each year, the community grants scheme and the West Bay Car Boot Sale grants scheme.
