Alderholt Community Fund makes grants for projects which are to the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Alderholt. The fund uses money received from Bluefield Solar Income Fund in accordance with the Community Fund Agreement, connected with the production of electricity at the Solar Farm on the edge of the village.
The Trustees meet twice a year to consider applications.
The next deadline for applications is Monday 29th September 2025. The Trustees will meet later in October 2025 to consider the applications received.

How much can I apply for?
