Keighley Big Local Community Grants

The Keighley Big Local Grants Programme is designed to enable individuals & organisations to deliver projects that help make Keighley Valley an even better place to live. 

The projects must help the Keighley Big Local Partnership meet the aims of the themes set out in the Keighley Big Local Plan. The themes were developed from the extensive consultation. What the Keighley Big Local Partnership learns from the outcomes of the grant funded activity will help them shape Keighley Big Local in future years. 

To learn more about the themes, we have provided you with a copy of the Keighley Big Local Plan 2021-2026 here: https://keighleybiglocal.org.uk/about/

Grants up to £5000 are available, although we can make larger grants in exceptional circumstances.

The grants are available on a rolling programme for activities across the Keighley Valley and must be completed in the lifetime of the current Keighley Big Local Plan
