The Community Grant Scheme gives small grants to local community and voluntary groups that work to make a real difference within our communities.
We want to support projects that benefit those most in need and aim to help with the cost of living, boost health and wellbeing and improve the lives of people living in our local communities.
Applications will be prioritised where groups are able to demonstrate that their project will have a positive impact on the wider community, where many people are able to benefit from the project, rather than a smaller, closed group.
How can I apply?
You can tell us all about your project in the application form. The application window will close on Sunday, 28 April 2024.
As part of your application, you will need to tell us how your project aims to support a wider group of people and how it will support our tenants and local communities. We will also consider the amount of money you are asking for, alongside the benefit to the local community and the number of people who will be positively affected.
For more information about the application process please read our guidance to the application form.
