Criteria
Projects will also need to address the following criteria. All projects must:
- Demonstrate how they contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of Lambeth residents;
- Seek to engage those who are not currently accessing activities/services. They are interested in projects that will help break down barriers to engagement. They are not looking to fund activities supporting an existing cohort of well engaged residents, but they will support the expansion of an existing service to reach out to new participants;
- Meet an identified need. You will need to demonstrate that the project is wanted and needed by communities who will benefit, for example, through consultation or informal feedback.
- Be working with or seek to work in partnership with other local organisations, community groups or service providers including GPs, pharmacies and local facilities such as extra care and sheltered housing schemes;
Eligibility Criteria
- Individual Lambeth residents or groups of residents – they want to support your ideas, so you do not have to be part of an organisation to apply to this fund. You can apply with the support of an organisation that can hold the funding for you and act as a ‘nurture organisation’. Your nurture organisation should be a local organisation that you already have a relationship with. Please see the fund guidelines for more detail on the role of a nurture organisation.
- Lambeth based registered charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs) limited by guarantee, Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), Companies Ltd by Guarantee (without shares), constituted community groups and TRAs with an income of less than £100,000 per annum (in the last accounting year) are welcome to apply. The income threshold does not apply to nurture organisations.
