The following community groups may apply for WHSmith Community Grants:
- Registered or Exempt Charities
- Voluntary/Community Groups (constituted)

There are two annual application rounds – 1st October to 31st March, and 1st April to 30th September – and at the end of each six month period grant applications will be reviewed and grants issued.
