Deadline: 7 June 2024
The Blaby District Council Community Grants scheme is now open for applications.
The scheme supports the local voluntary and community sector (VCS) to develop and strengthen community facilities and activities for the benefit of Blaby district residents.
Funding Information
They offer the following grants to suit different project types:
- Capital Green Grants – up to £4,000 (20% match funding required)
- Large Capital Grants – up to £4,000 (50% match funding required)
- Small Capital Grants – up to £500
- Revenue Grants – up to £500
- Everyone Active Grants – up to £500
Who can apply?
- The grants scheme is open to applications from a range of VCS organisations:
- Community groups, youth clubs and sports clubs
- Registered Charities
- Social Enterprises (such as Community Interest Companies)
- PTA/fundraising groups can apply for projects that are not the statutory responsibility of the School/Academy/Trust
- Churches/Religious bodies can only apply for either capital grants relating to distinct community spaces/halls open to the whole community, or revenue grants that relate to community events/activities open to all, irrespective of faith
- Organisations can only be awarded one grant per financial year (April-March) and may only apply for one grant at a time. However, an organisation is only likely to be awarded funding in a consecutive year if the application demonstrates a high level of need, as well as strong outcomes from the proposed project and a clear long-term plan for the organisation’s sustainability.
