Our Connecting Communities grants offer up to £20,000 to charities who provide placed-based services to our entire community or specific groups.

Funding is available to support capital projects that:

• Bring people together: Reduce social isolation and foster a strong sense of belonging.
• Secure the future: Ensure vital local services remain open and accessible for generations to come.

APPLICANTS MUST:

• Own the property where the project is being delivered, or have a long-term lease with a minimum of 3 years remaining
• Have at least one set of accounts filed the relevant charity regulator.

WE CANNOT SUPPORT:

• CICs, charities with exempt/excepted status, or organisations that are not registered charities.
• Charities that promote religious or political messages
• Charities whose main purpose is animal welfare
• Charities who have filed their accounts late, had accounts marked as qualified within the last three years
