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.
