Capital grants for businesses and communities in rural areas

The West Kent Rural Grant Scheme has re-opened for applications.

Businesses and communities in rural areas can once again apply to the West Kent Rural Grants scheme. This funding is available to those located in the boroughs of Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Malling, and Sevenoaks.

Grants ranging from £5,000 to £20,000 are available to support economic growth initiatives and community, heritage, and tourism facilities. The grants are for capital expenditure only and match funding is required. Other terms and conditions apply.

Applications opened on Monday 16 June 2025. The scheme will close once the funds have been allocated.

To find out more about the scheme and to make an application, visit: www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/westkentruralgrants.

The West Kent Rural Grant Scheme is funded by UK Government through the Rural England Prosperity Fund.
