The Community Investment Gateway has a new funding opportunity.
Grants are available to fund the work of VCSE organisations who support seldom heard groups - underrepresented adults who are less likely to be heard by practitioners or decision makers at services, or face barriers to accessing support.
These grants are funded by The Wakefield and District Safeguarding Adults Board (WDSAB). WDSAB is a multiagency partnership responsible for ensuring that adults at risk of abuse and/or neglect are supported, listened to, engaged and empowered to live safe and well lives. One of the Board's priorities is to establish a grants scheme to support projects and organisations working with seldom heard groups, and funding is being channelled through the Gateway.
These small grants are designed to be used flexibly and you can apply for funding to:

This funding is for organisations who are Tier 3 members of the Community Investment Gateway, who are already working with or supporting one or more ‘seldom heard’ groups.
If your organisation is not a member and your annual income is below £25,000, get in touch with gateway@nova-wd.org.uk to find out how to join.
Join the online Information Session on Wednesday 14 January (1pm to 2pm) to hear more about the funding and ask any questions. Email gateway@nova-wd.org.uk to book.
