Community based grants

Do you have an idea to help people gain better skills or generally improve their potential to achieve greater things?

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of local people?

Do you need financial help to make your idea happen?

Then why not apply for funding for a community based grant if your initiative or project will -

• increase the employment and training opportunities available for a range of people – linking with partners to improve knowledge, skills or health, supporting work placements or facilitating training.
• increase support to help people develop key skills – through volunteering or other social activities.
• provides opportunities for people to connect with their neighbours and communities whilst using or developing their skills to improve the local environment including parks and green spaces.

Voluntary and community groups can apply for up to £10,000 if their income is not more than £30,000 a year (including fundraising, grants and donations).
