believe housing’s community investment programme has opened two new funding opportunities to support groups in the areas it operates in.
The £500 Small Community Grant and £1000 Community Grant are ready for applications to help deliver activities or projects that will make a real difference to people’s lives and well-being.
Funding applications are welcomed for projects that meet one of believe housing’s key themes:
- Improving mental and physical health
- Employability and training
- Increasing household income
- Developing a greener, fairer future by reducing, reusing and recycling
- Tackling inequalities as a result of the cost of living crisis.
The £500 Community Grant can support several activities, including those encouraging social integration, setting up community classes, activities and events and contributing to venue hire up to a maximum of £125.
Funding from the £1000 Community Grant can help get a project off the ground by funding revenue costs and up to 60% of a project’s capital costs. This money can cover start up costs for a not-for-profit group, marketing and promotional costs up to the value of £200, art and craft events that improve mental well-being or reduce isolation and more.
To find out more information, and to apply for the £500 Small Community Grant and £1000 Community Grant, go to www.believehousing.co.uk/your-community/community-funding.
