Our Small Grants Programme supports community groups and local organisations that deliver meaningful benefits to the residents within our area of benefit. This programme is specifically designed to support grassroots and smaller-scale community organisations that may lack access to larger funding opportunities.
With funding of up to £2,500 available, we aim to support grassroots initiatives and less-established organisations to provide innovative and impactful ideas that focus on building resilience, addressing financial hardship, and improving quality of life, from gardening projects for older residents to mental health workshops and food parcel programmes. Information on our past grants can be found here.
Small organisational grants are discussed within 1 one month of being received.
