Deadline: 28-November-2025
With awards ranging from £2,001 to £10,000, the programme provides financial support for up to 50% of a project’s eligible running costs, helping groups bring ambitious initiatives to life.
Projects should aim to meet at least three of the programme’s objectives. These include improving quality of life and wellbeing, increasing community involvement and reducing isolation, and building skills and capacity. Initiatives that enable participation in heritage, culture, arts, or sport, bring people from different community backgrounds together, and promote environmental sustainability are also encouraged.
To be eligible, groups must be not-for-profit community or voluntary organizations. They should be a forum, an organization currently employing staff, or a network support organization working across the Borough. Applicants must not already hold a Medium Community Development or Good Relations Grant, Large Event Grant, or International Event Grant in the current year, and must remain within the maximum number of grant awards allowed in the financial year.
This programme provides an excellent opportunity for established community organizations to expand their reach, strengthen social connections, and create lasting positive change. By aligning projects with the objectives, groups can secure funding to deliver initiatives that benefit the wider community and support long-term development goals.
