Helping communities prepare for flooding
Is your community flood group working hard to improve resilience against flooding? If so, you could be eligible for a Flood Kit Grant of up to £1,000. These grants are designed to help community flood groups purchase essential items that support their local response to flooding events.
By providing funding directly to communities in Cambridgeshire, we enable local people to take practical steps to prepare for and respond effectively to flooding. This grant helps communities strengthen their flood resilience and protect residents.
What can the grant be used for?
Funding can be used to purchase items that assist with community flood response, such as:
- Wet weather protective clothing
- Warning signs and safety equipment
- Storage containers for emergency kit
- Flood barriers or sandbag alternatives
- Other essential tools or materials that improve preparedness
Who can apply?
- Community flood groups with a clear plan for action
- Parish councils supporting a community flood group
Are there any restrictions?
- Grants are limited to £1,000 per community flood group
- Funding must be used for items that directly support flood response and preparedness. A list of available items is provided on the application form.
What is the closing date for applications?
Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all available funds have been allocated. Apply early to avoid disappointment.
What else do I need to know?
The Council does not assume any liability for the use of items purchased through this grant, including any injury, damage, or loss arising from their use.
Cambridgeshire County Council will not replace any items that have been used, damaged, worn out, or broken.
There is no guarantee that future funding will become available, so we encourage groups to apply as soon as possible.
