About the funding available to charities and voluntary and community groups for revenue expenditure or capital projects
About our funding
Currently we hold a small amount of funding to distribute towards either revenue expenditure or capital projects.
Revenue expenditure covers an organisation's general running costs, for example:
- venue hire
- printing and stationery
- postages
Capital funding covers items such as:
- pieces of equipment
- refurbishment of a building
- provision of a children's play area
The funding is available to charities, voluntary and community groups, community interest companies and social enterprises. You must meet at least one of these criteria:
- improved understanding of different people and cultures in our local community - for example, projects that bring together different cultures or generations
- increased involvement from people who face barriers to participation in community life - for example, integrated sports activities for disabled and non-disabled people, school holiday activities for families on a low income
- greater use of community buildings or outdoor community spaces particularly in rural areas - for example, refurbishing buildings to support new activities, wildlife/community gardens, environmental improvements
- healthier and safer lifestyles for the whole community - for example, walking and cycling projects and well-being classes.
- increased participation in arts and cultural activities which are accessible to the whole community - for example, developing music skills, taster sessions to introduce people to the arts
