- People at risk of loneliness and isolation
- Opportunities providing educational experiences
- Provision to improve social welfare and community cohesion
- New initiatives established to bridge a gap in current service provision within the town
- Environmental initiatives
Biddulph Town Council operates two grant schemes throughout the year:

Grants are allocated at the discretion of the Council and in accordance with the agreed strategic objectives.
