Introduction

limited budget to assist groups, initiatives and events that make a positive
contribution to communities at a local level.
Applications to this fund can be made at any time during the year. Applications should be received
before the 20th of the month preceding the
community board meeting you
would like your application considered at.
You should apply using
the community board discretionary funding application form.
Who can apply
Any community group within the
community board area can apply for a grant from the fund. View
the map to check which area your group is in.
What will be funded
The boards will fund:
- the delivery of an activity, project, programme or event

community board areas).
The community
boards' decisions on grants to community groups must be consistent with the
community group assistance policy
