Your County - Putting Kent First

Kent 4 star Council

External funding

We co-ordinate and support the development of bids by internal colleagues and local partners for external funding to enhance and develop quality services for Kent.

What is External Funding?

External funding is money obtained through bids to money-granting organisations such as the National Lottery distributors, government departments and charitable trusts and foundations. For KCC this is money in addition to its main budget.

During 2007-08 KCC received more than £5m of external funds and during 2007 (calendar year) the voluntary and community sector in Kent received over £12m from the National Lottery distributors alone.

Services for VCS groups

We have a range of services available to support voluntary and community groups with bid development and funding. These include:
