- 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 provision of cultural/educational events or experiences
- improve local green spaces through small scale environmental projects
These areas of interest are not exclusive, and other areas (eg organisational costs) may be considered.
Grants size will usually be between £2,000 to £5,000.
Projects that are open to the public or that make use of computing in their delivery are favourably considered.
