Grants of £500 – £20,000 are available to registered charities for projects that benefit communities through grass-roots sports, arts and recreation programmes and healthy living initiatives that improve a community’s physical and mental health.
Other voluntary organisations e.g. sports groups, community interest companies and social enterprises can apply for up to £2,000. Full application guidelines for the new funding round are available on the website.
