Overview

Who can apply?

Their target audience are small place based charitable organisations providing a service to the heart of their community within the UK.

An example would be a charitable organisation set up by the community in a village, providing services to older people in isolation; a small community group on an estate providing drop in sessions for teenagers etc.

Organisations applying must:

  • be applying for up to £5,000
  • be providing a service to the heart of your community
  • be a community charitable organisation whose reach is within a localised catchment area
  • be able to demonstrate the need of the project
  • have an annual income below £50,000
  • have charitable aims and objectives
  • operate within the UK
  • be able to demonstrate impact and value for money.

Areas Considered

Areas considered may include:

  • projects with a community led ethos – this may be born from a community challenge or idea and run by members of the local community
  • organisations that find it difficult to attract mainstream funding
  • projects demonstrating the organisation is providing something which would not otherwise be available locally
  • projects demonstrating the organisation is doing great work that they are not recognised for.
