Revenue and capital grants

About the funding available to charities and voluntary and community groups for revenue expenditure or capital projects

About our funding

Currently we hold a small amount of funding to distribute towards either revenue expenditure or capital projects.

Revenue expenditure covers an organisation's general running costs, for example:

  • venue hire
  • printing and stationery
  • postages

Capital funding covers items such as:

  • pieces of equipment
  • refurbishment of a building
  • provision of a children's play area

The funding is available to charities, voluntary and community groups, community interest companies and social enterprises. You must meet at least one of these criteria:

  • improved understanding of different people and cultures in our local community - for example, projects that bring together different cultures or generations
  • increased involvement from people who face barriers to participation in community life - for example, integrated sports activities for disabled and non-disabled people, school holiday activities for families on a low income
  • greater use of community buildings or outdoor community spaces particularly in rural areas - for example, refurbishing buildings to support new activities, wildlife/community gardens, environmental improvements
  • healthier and safer lifestyles for the whole community - for example, walking and cycling projects and well-being classes.
  • increased participation in arts and cultural activities which are accessible to the whole community - for example, developing music skills, taster sessions to introduce people to the arts
