Funding priorities
The fund is looking to support projects which:
- Provide training, support and resources for local people in need.
- Provide support or training to improve the employability of those facing disadvantage.
- Enrich the lives of disadvantaged local people through the provision of cultural and/or educational events or experiences.
- Improve local green spaces through small-scale environmental projects.
These areas of interest are not exclusive, and other areas, such as organisational costs, may be considered.
Projects that are open to the public and/or make use of computing in their delivery are favourably considered.
This fund typically awards grants of a value between £2,000-£5,000.
