Treat these figures as a minimum. We count a grant when the funder recorded it against Hastings. Money that reached the town but was filed under East Sussex, the South East or nationally is not counted here, and funders who do not publish open grants data do not appear at all.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.

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 can mean a quiet year or a slow publisher; the record can't tell them apart.

What public bodies are buying

The other direction of the money: 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 counted for a stated reason, labelled on the row.

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

Open to bid

Live notices, soonest deadline first. The notice page states how to respond. New notices land 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.
