Live Well Wakefield is a social prescribing service that empowers people to access resources in their communities that enable them to feel happier and healthier. The Small Grants Fund supports this service by regularly funding Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to develop services which respond to identified gaps or scale up existing provision to meet demand.
Round 18 of the Fund will open in early April.
The Community Investment Gateway will be sharing more details of what is being funded, and we'll add those to this page when it's been announced.
Grants of £10,000 will be available.
We will consider applications for two years of funding at a maximum of £10,000 per year where you can demonstrate how this supports long term sustainability, clear evaluation methods, and an existing relationship with Live Well Wakefield.
The amount of funding applied for cannot be more than 50% of annual turnover.
These grants are for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations working in Wakefield District. We welcome applications from voluntary groups, community groups, sports clubs, leisure clubs, charities, community interest companies, limited companies, and social enterprises.
We will fund new services or activities, or additional capacity/expansion of existing services.
Funding to support VCSE organisations to expand community-based support, strengthen and transform existing day support offers, help individuals to live independently and prevent them from returning to rough sleeping.
The One Stop Community Partnership programme invites local community groups to apply for funding of up to £1,000, alongside the opportunity to work in partnership with their local One Stop.
Funding for 4 community projects to host fun, summer activities in the local community for people aged between 21 – 65 years old.
