Strengthening Communities is our funding for community led projects. It will help us deliver our strategy, ‘It starts with community.’
You can apply from Monday 21 October 2024.
We know that communities have many strengths and resources. We’ll fund projects that use these to help make people’s lives better.
Your project must:
- involve people who experience poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
- support people early to help prevent negative experiences
- be led by your community and build on its strengths and connections.
Your project must also achieve one of these outcomes:
- Reduce health inequalities.
- Improve people’s physical health, mental health or wellbeing.
- People have positive relationships and connections.
- Young people reach their potential and thrive as adults.
- Children and young people develop good social and emotional skills.
It’s okay for your project to achieve one outcome, or more. Meeting more than one outcome will not improve your chances of getting funding.
We offer funding from £20,001 to £500,000
- Any size of organisation can apply for £200,000 to £500,000.
- Only smaller organisations can apply for less than £200,000.
By smaller organisations we mean those with an annual income under £500,000. Based on your average income over the last 2 years.
