Summary

Community Choices will let communities across the Council area decide how money is spent in your neighbourhood. The fund aims to make your area fairer, healthier, more connected and more inclusive. Groups and organisations can apply to two separate funds: a small grants programme and a capital programme.

Small Grants Programme:

• The Community Choices Small Grants programme offers local residents the opportunity to suggest project and activity ideas they want to make happen and to receive public funds in their ward to do it. It can fund activity costs, equipment and supplied.

Place Based Capital Programme:

• The Capital funds programme can be used to invest in resources and facilities for the benefit of the community and must be able to continue to offer public benefit throughout their lifetime. Capital spend is expected to create something new, improve an existing asset, or purchase equipment.

Premium information is available exclusively to SCVO members and supporters
