Ready, Set, Apply! Pride in Place Funding Now Live
Residents, community groups and organisations across Hastings are being invited to apply for funding through the Pride in Place programme.
With up to £20 million of additional government being invested over the next decade, this is a major opportunity to support projects that make a real difference locally – from improving community spaces to supporting activities for young people and strengthening neighbourhoods.
This year, £342,000 is available through the Pride in our Neighbourhoods programme, with funding increasing to up to £500,000 annually from next year. A further £100,000 is also available to help groups build capacity and prepare applications.
The programme is led by the Hastings Neighbourhood Board and shaped by the priorities of residents. Thousands of people have already shared what matters to them – from safer, cleaner streets to more opportunities for young people.
You don’t need previous experience to apply, and support is available to help you through the process.
🗓 Applications close: 11:59pm, 31 August 2026
If you have an idea that could make a difference where you live, this is your chance to bring it to life.
