Communities First Trust Fund - It is Your Community - Make a Difference!!!!
Tuesday, June 01, 2010
The Communities First Trust Fund, through small community organisations, in Communities First areas, aims to support any type of activity that involves local people of all ages, to help them make a real difference to the community they live in.
Supporting you to support your community…..
Grants can be awarded up to £5,000 to build on existing activities or to initiate new ones.
These activities must provide some measure of economic, environmental or cultural benefit.
Projects will aim to encourage more community involvement and the restoration of community spirit and pride in making a Communities First area a better place to live.
Making a difference to your community…..
Applications are welcome from a wide range of community projects and activities including music and the arts.
Your group can apply if you:
• are a small community led organisation and /or are a not-for-profit group with an annual income under £150,000;
• are working in and involving people from a Communities First area, or if you are based outside the area, the beneficiaries must be living in a Communities First area.
