Small, local organisations that are making a positive difference in their communities can apply for between £500 and £2,000 in unrestricted funding. The grants are flexible and can therefore be used where they are most needed, including for core organisational costs.
The aim is to support groups that provide vital services in their local communities such as: access to food or basic essentials; improvements to local greenspaces; cultural, support or wellbeing activities; volunteering opportunities to improve the local environment or support other people.
You can apply if your organisation had an income of under £25,000 in the last financial year. Priority will be given to organisations working in deprived areas and supporting communities classed as marginalised or vulnerable.
Not-for-profit, constituted voluntary or community organisations and registered charities can apply. CICs can also apply but should check the guidance notes once published for any restrictions.
