Grants and Funding Support for Voluntary and Community Organisations

Crawley Borough Council is committed to funding the work of a diverse local voluntary and Community Sector as part of our support for a Big Society.

This includes the funding of support services such as the Crawley Council for Voluntary Service and Volunteer Centre to providing an open grants programme for a wide range of community services such as provided by Relate, Age UK (West Sussex), and Crawley Community Transport.
