You can apply up to three times in any one financial year for different activities (or for the same activity if six months have passed since the last application) but the total funded to any one organization in any one year must not exceed the £1,000 limit.
What can be funded?
- Grants may be used for various purposes including equipment, accommodation/let charges, running costs, programme costs, improvements and building repairs as long as they are related to COVID-19 activity in local communities and the recovery from the crisis.
What can’t be funded?
Grants are not made for:
- activities that started before the application being made;
- items of equipment of a personal nature;
- repairs/improvements to premises not owned by or leased to the organization applying.

This means that your organization or group must be governed by people who are elected or appointed by the members of your organization and that membership is open to appropriate sections of the community (e.g. all senior citizens within the area).
- Individuals, profit distributing organizations, private clubs (i.e. clubs without open memberships), political parties and Trade Unions may not apply.
