Bettys and Taylors Group Coronavirus Community Fund (UK)

Deadline: 12-Aug-22

Applications are now open for the Bettys and Taylors Group Coronavirus Community Fund.

Aims

• The work your group does must meet one or more of the following aims:
  • Promoting good health & wellbeing
  • Reducing inequality
  • Reducing loneliness and social isolation
• Whilst they will consider applications from across all of Yorkshire, priority will be given to disadvantaged communities.

Funding Information

You can apply for up to £5000.

What can I apply for?

• You can apply for running costs, and you must show how these funds will help you make a “step change”.  A Step Change is your group becoming more stable and resilient following the pandemic. Basically, they just want to know how your group will be better off at the end of the grant period.
• But please do not apply for capital costs alone, except where small equipment costs are part of a larger request. For example, you could apply for a laptop or computer to assist with administration, or kitchen equipment or learning resources alongside training costs.

Types of Activities Supported

• Overheads
  • Rental costs
  • Heating, lighting, water rates
  • Core staff costs
  • Stationery, small capital items, internet
  • Volunteer costs
• Organisational development
  • Staff training
  • Trustee training
  • Volunteer training and management
  • Fundraising
  • Business planning and development
  • Developing monitoring and learning
  • Marketing and communications

Eligibility Criteria

• Applications will be accepted from:
  • constituted voluntary and community groups
  • registered charities
  • co-operatives
  • social enterprises
  • community interest companies 
• Funding is not available for capital costs alone except where small equipment purchases form part of a bid for running costs and organisational development, for example a laptop or computer to assist with administration.
• Because they are keen to support groups where a small amount of money can make a real difference, they will only consider applications from organisations with an income of under £200k per year. This is based on your most recent annual accounts and/or current forecasts.
