Deadline: 24-Oct-21
The Wealden District Council is seeking applications for its Recovery Grant Program.
Funding Information
Groups can apply for between £500 and £3000, to be spent by the end of March 2022.
What the grant can be used for?
- to enable voluntary and community organisations to continue the valued services and support they provide to their communities – this could include core costs which were affected by the pandemic and/or loss of income
- to promote physical and mental wellbeing
- to ensure resilience of community and voluntary groups in the future
- the provision of services to accommodate ongoing covid-19 measures to encourage participants to return safely.
What the grant cannot be used for?
- Grants cannot be used for any other purpose than that specified on the application.
- They will not pay for fund-raising activities or advertising costs – they can signpost you to free opportunities for advertising or promoting your services.
- Grants cannot be used for activities promoting religious or political beliefs. However, they welcome applications from faith groups for community activities that are open to the whole community, regardless of religion.
- Salary costs which are not one-off or which you have been unable to demonstrate will become sustainable at the end of their funding

To be eligible you must:
- Be a voluntary organisation, community group, registered charity, not-for-profit organisation or community interest company. (Commercial organisations, Town and Parish Councils, schools or similar statutory organisations cannot apply to this programme).
