Funding for Community Projects
The following information is provided in good faith. The Parish Council is not recommending or endorsing any of the funding sources, neither have we investigated the relevance or availability of potential funding to St Peters Parish community groups.
Funding for Small Scale Regeneration Projects (UK)
Local community groups, community enterprises and registered charities that
address social and economic deprivation within specific geographic areas such as
a housing estate, neighbourhood or village may be eligible to apply for grants
of up to £5,000 through Comic Relief’s Disadvantaged Communities programme. The
focus of the programme is on small scale local projects which were started by
local residents who came together to try to make their community better. This
programme does not support work over a larger area, for example, city-wide
initiatives or across a whole town. To be eligible applicants need to have a
turnover of less than £150,000. Applications can be made at any time.

ways. The Community Foundation Network is distributing Sport Relief grants of up

people who are having major problems in their lives. Other projects will give
people who would otherwise miss out, the chance to take part in sport. UnLtd is
