Each year Chesham Town Council gives donations of up to £500 to charitable, voluntary or other local groups that benefit Chesham. Download an application form for the 2024 grants (Word, 83 KB). The deadline for applications is the 1st April 2024.
Over the years we have given money to many local organisations for some very interesting projects. Some examples can be found below:-
Chesham Connect - Hats Off Chesham! 2023 - A fun annual festival of Hats
United Reformed Church - Meet and Eat - providing meals and a place to meet and socialise for families living on a tight budget.
Chesham Over Fifties Positive Action Group – to pay for speakers at their Friday morning meetings and to help with the cost of their quarterly newsletter.
The Chiltern Society – to buy a tree popper and some mini mattocks to help cut roots and extract unwanted scrub, woody plants, trees and ragwort - roots and all - avoiding multi-stem regrowth or the need for any kind of herbicide treatment. This will be used in Captain’s Wood by their volunteer team. They were also able to buy a new scythe blade to use in confined spaces such as when clearing footpath edges in Captain’s Wood and weed growth around newly planted trees.
Walkers are Welcome, Chesham – To help pay for walking leaflets detailing walks of varying lengths around the local area.
The White Hill Centre – Towards the cost of new blinds and a new cooker for their recently renovated premises.
