Treat these figures as a minimum. We count a grant when the funder recorded it against Hastings, or when the organisation that received it gives a Hastings postcode as its address. Money that reached the town but was filed under East Sussex, the South East or nationally, to an organisation based elsewhere, is not counted here, and funders who do not publish open grants data do not appear at all. So the real figure is higher, and we cannot say by how much.

Of the total, £10.1m across 175 grants was recorded against the wider Hastings and Rye parliamentary constituency, which also covers Rye.

Awarded is not the same as spent. A grant appears here when it was awarded; whether it has been drawn down, and what it achieved, is not something this data can tell you.

The largest awards

The twelve biggest published grants on the record. Awarded is not the same as spent.

Who received it

Each organisation's page shows its funding alongside everything else we hold about it.

All streets and places

The twenty largest of 40 recipients on the record. Every one is in the grants dataset, and each has its own page.

By funder

Which funders show up in Hastings, and how much they have published against it.

By year

When the money was awarded. A thin year may mean fewer grants, or a funder that hasn't published yet, and we can't tell which.

What public bodies are buying

Money going out: contract notices from the two national services, Contracts Finder (below-threshold) and Find a Tender (above-threshold). A notice appears here when the buyer is a Hastings council, when the notice states a delivery postcode in the borough, or when the buyer or winning supplier is itself based here. Each row says which of these reasons applies.

These are minimums, not totals. Below-threshold notices reach Contracts Finder at the buyer's discretion, and our record starts on Wed 15 Jul 2026, so earlier contracts aren't shown. County-council notices cover the whole county and are labelled, never counted as Hastings spending.

Open to bid

Notices still open, soonest deadline first. Each notice says how to respond. New notices appear in the opportunities feed, and their closing dates in the deadlines calendar. Neither needs an account.

Recently awarded

Awarded is not the same as spent, and the council's own papers hold the decision behind each contract.
