THIS FUND IS NOW CLOSED & WILL REOPEN IN 2026

Our new Community Fund aims to support activities that address an area of social need, encourage inclusivity and help our communities to become more resilient. We believe that people understand what’s needed in their local area better than anyone. So it’s important to us that your project involves your community in the design, development and delivery of the activities you’re planning.

TYPES OF PROJECTS
- Group social and cultural activities that encourage inclusivity
- Recreational activities that promote health and well-being for the elderly and young people,
- Improving accessibility for people with a disability,
- Buying equipment, undertaking small repairs, re-decorating shared public spaces
- Support towards services bills for public places that bring people together
- Activity that tackles loss, isolation or loneliness,
- Activity to encourage change and support for people who experience discrimination and/or work to challenge discrimination and/or people experiencing financial hardship.
- This is not an exhaustive list. It is merely a guide that we hope will inspire ideas to bring positive social change to your community.
