Money is short at present, and local authority budgets are
stretched, so it is important to keep up to date with other sources of funding for community
projects. In this connection I have
just received the latest funding bulletin from the invaluable Rural Services
Network.
Included in the list is the Postcode Trust which has funding available for charities and
community groups ranging from £500 to £10,000.
Their criteria are quite broad and would cover a good many
projects. Additionally the Community Sport Activation Fund has
grants on offer for a wide range of activities relating to sport, while the Protecting Playing Fields project from
Sports England is offering sums of between £10,000 and £50,000 for the development and
enhancement of playing field land.
The Heritage Lottery Fund is looking for projects that carry
out urgent repairs to places of worship,
and the Sita Trust Enhancing Communities Programme is offering funding for the restoration and repair of community and
historic buildings.
If you would like more details of any of these funding
opportunities please get in touch with me (antillj@btinternet.com) and I will forward details to you. While the final date for applications for
some are quite a long way ahead, others would need quite a rapid response!
