Salisbury Reds has opened applications for its April 2026 Community Fund.

The scheme offers local charities, schools, sports teams and community groups the chance to apply for funding of up to £750.

Organisations are asked to explain how the money would be used and how it would benefit the Salisbury community.

The bus operator says the fund has been created to provide a dedicated resource for supporting local causes, after previously responding to requests for help on an ad-hoc basis.

Applications are open to groups across Salisbury and the wider Wiltshire area.

Previous recipients have included community projects such as Imagine This Early Years and Family CIC and the social enterprise Share Salisbury.

The fund opens twice a year, in April and September, with successful applications chosen by a judging panel made up of members of the Salisbury Reds management team.

Applications for the current round must be submitted by 30 April through the Salisbury Reds website.
