Small grants funding

How to apply for funding for voluntary organisations and to find out about sources of funding.

This is a funding programme for local 3rd sector organisations in need of small grants to start or deliver specific services or activities. We use it to support the widest possible range of local organisations, and we prioritise funding to those groups we don't currently fund.

Small grants can be used to fund a range of activities, for example: sessional worker costs, one off events, play schemes and classes, rent and running costs for specific short term projects.

You can apply for between £100 and £10,000. We do not anticipate awarding amounts over £5,000 to more than two or three organisations in each financial year, and the majority of funding will be for projects under £5,000.

Applications for small grants

Applications can be made at any time and will be assessed as they arrive – there is no deadline for submitting completed applications.

Please see application form and guidance notes below.
