Got an idea that could make a lasting difference in your neighbourhood? A new £1.2 million fund is being launched to help community-led projects across Hastings.
Hastings Borough Council says its Fairness Fund will focus on improving opportunities, health and wellbeing in communities where investment is most needed. Most of the money will support buildings, facilities and other long-term improvements.
Grassroots organisations and community groups are central to the plans. Applications are due to open later in 2026, with funding available from spring 2027.
Eligibility rules and application details have not yet been published. Groups interested in applying should watch the council’s announcement page for the next update.
