  • Community support funding - up to £15,000 of funding to support communities with community mental health and wellbeing, volunteering, connecting communities to services and supporting the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector
  • Rural community capital funding - supports activities that specifically address the particular challenges faced by rural areas
  • Youth community funding for left behind areas - up to £25,000 of funding to support community activities and help improve young lives in our left behind areas
