Grassroots Grant Programme - FREE money up to £5,000 for groups in Worcestershire
Final year so don't delay!
Calling all small voluntary and community groups in Worcestershire, if you need funding to help deliver valuable services for the most disadvantaged communities and people in the county then the Grassroots Grant Programme is waiting for your call.
If you are a voluntary / community group; locally managed and based in Worcestershire; have a set of rules and a management committee; are predominately volunteer led with an average annual income of less than £30K and have a bank account then you too could receive financial assistance through Grassroots.
Grassroots is funded by the Office of the Civil Society and is delivered by Community First on behalf of the Community Development Foundation. Grants start at £250 and range up to £5000. Funding can be given for a wide range of activities from purchasing equipment, putting on a local event or workshop, to cover staff costs to enable the employment of individuals, contribution to rent costs (related to activities / service delivery), costs of attending a conference or event and paying for training volunteers, the list goes on.
Details on how to apply for funding are available at www.comfirst.org.uk or you can call Sophie Mead, Grants Administration Officer at Community First on 01432 267820 (Monday to Wednesday and Friday) and 01684 312734 (Thursday) or e-mail grassroots@comfirst.org.uk to find out more.
There is a free outreach and support service provided by the outreach worker in Worcestershire, Sophie Mead, and applicants will be encouraged to make use of this service to give groups the best possible chance of being successful in their bid.
