Each year Chesham Town Council gives grants of up to £500 to charitable, voluntary or other local groups that benefit Chesham. The scheme for 2025 is now open for applications. If you have been a recipient of a grant in 2024, you must send us feedback on your 2024 project before applying for a 2025 grant.
Over the years we have given money to many local organisations for some very interesting projects:

Examples of Organisations & Projects We Have Helped
- 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.
- Walkers are Welcome, Chesham – To help pay for walking leaflets detailing walks of varying lengths around the local area.
- 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.
- The White Hill Centre – Towards the cost of new blinds and a new cooker for their recently renovated premises.

It is a condition of the grant that feedback on how it was used must be given within 6 months of receipt of the money. The inclusion of photographs that we can share with residents would be appreciated. A failure to provide this information will mean your organisation will be ineligible for future funding applications.
