Community Grant Scheme
If you have an idea for a project involving your local community group, your group might be able to receive
some financial assistance in the form of a Wakefield and District Housing (WDH) Community Grant.
The aim of the Community Grant Scheme is to provide small grants for local community and voluntary groups,
which operate within WDH communities and to:
-
Support the annual priorities and provide funding for activities and events which
are important to WDH tenants. The priorities for 2011/2012 are:
- repairs
- anti social behaviour
- local environment
- supporting young people
- lifestyles and worklessness
- Strengthen small voluntary organisations and local community groups in the areas covered by WDH.
- Provide support for activities / projects that will benefit the communities in which WDH tenants live.
Whilst emphasis will be on supporting projects which benefit the communities in which WDH operates,
support will be targeted to projects which directly contribute to achieving one or more of the annual tenant priorities.
Grants are only available to groups, not individuals or commercial businesses. The grant helps local
groups to take part in and benefit from a wide range of community services and activities.
If you would like to find out more information about the aims of the scheme, together with the terms and
conditions and how to apply, please refer to the Guide for Applicants which is available below.

to the quarterly LMC meetings in 2011/2012 are:
