Deadline: 01-Oct-21
The Lincolnshire Community Foundation has announced a call for applications for the Laceby Solar Farm to support volunteer led not-for-profit projects that improve the lives of people living in Laceby, Irby, Riby, Barnoldby le Beck, Bradley, Aylesby and Beelsby, North East Lincolnshire.
- Community Cohesion: Intergenerational projects that bring the community together, community safety initiatives, arts, culture and heritage projects and facilities that improve wellbeing and help strengthen the community.
- Young People: Provision of activities, facilities and opportunities for young people, workshops, diversionary activities, alternative curriculum provision, youth music, arts sessions, youth club provision etc.
- Community Facilities: Support for meeting places (community centres, village halls, playing fields, church halls)
- Energy efficiency: for community buildings, reduction in car use (bicycling, health walks), ground source energy schemes, rain harvesting, solar panels and cost effective heating or lighting systems for community buildings
- Older People: Projects that help older people live independent lives, tackle isolation, loneliness and support for people with dementia and their carers, activities that increase physical activity and improve wellbeing
Applicants may be constituted voluntary and community groups, registered charities, cooperatives or social enterprises. Projects from Schools, Health or Social Service establishments, Churches and Parish Councils may also be considered where there is a clear benefit to the wider community. However, the fund is not meant to replace government or other statutory funding; in all cases therefore, the application must be for a project that is not eligible for central or local government funding or other statutory funding. National or Regional organisations are unlikely to receive funding, unless they have a local management committee and control over their own finances.
