Funding Information

The Community Investment Gateway has a new funding opportunity, which Nova is proud to be administering.

The Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities Programme is running in areas across the district, using workshops and local engagement to:

  • Improve health and wellbeing
  • Connect with communities
  • Reduce health inequalities

This funding from Wakefield Council is available to support this work in Knottingley and Ferrybridge, by working with grassroots groups and community organisations who know their neighbourhoods best.

What is being funded?

These grants are for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations already working in Knottingley or Ferrybridge, or with strong existing links there.  

The Gateway is funding activities that support residents of the area with their physical health or mental health. This could look like:

  • Community walking, cycling or couch-to-5k groups  
  • Befriending, peer support groups, bereavement cafés  
  • Arts for wellbeing, gardening groups, nature connection  

The Gateway welcomes applications from constituted community groups, charities, CICs, CIOs and unincorporated charitable associations. Applicants must have a business bank account for the organisation. Read more about eligibility in the Information Pack.  

How can you apply?

Applications for this funding can be made using the form, available to download from the Gateway website. More information about the fund is available there.
