COMMUNITY FUND APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN AND WILL CLOSE ON 5TH NOVEMBER 2026 AT 10PM.

Barwick-in-Elmet and Scholes Community Fund Committee works in partnership with Festival Republic (the organisers of the Leeds Festival) to provide contributions to local groups or associations through:

  1. A generous donation of £7,500 provided by Festival Republic, and
  2. The sale of 250 Leeds Festival tickets to residents (discounted to £65 per ticket).


Whilst funding is generous it is limited to £23,750, a total which must cover all of this year’s applications throughout the entire parish. Please consider this when applying.

The form which follows this notice should be completed in full and sent to the Committee by post to 3 Parlington Court, Barwick in Elmet, Leeds, LS15 4EB or email to grants@BandSCF.org.uk.

Applications should arrive NO LATER THAN 10PM ON NOVEMBER 5th 2026.
Every application processed will be assigned a reference number. If you have not received your reference number by 30th November 2026 then please email grants@BandSCF.org.uk.
