The Community programme focuses on funding core work that helps disadvantaged people to play a fuller role in the community. We are particularly interested in work that achieves this through:

improved social and community involvement
improved life choices and chances
helping people to be heard.

To be eligible:

you must be an underfunded charity (12 months of reserves or less)
if you work locally or in a region you must have an income of £1 million or less
if you work nationally you must have an income of £5 million or less
your work must enable disadvantaged people to play a fuller role in the community in one (or more) of the following ways - through:
- improved social and community involvement
- improved life choices and chances
- helping people to be heard
you will need to be clear on the specific changes and benefits that your work will provide for your users/beneficiaries to help them to play a fuller role in the community

What type of funding is provided?

We fund charities to continue and develop existing community-based work, or to develop the organisation or its services. We can support charities in a range of ways - examples include funding to:

maintain and or improve their capacity and or effectiveness
encourage learning and best practice
enable the continued provision of services
support the expansion of services
help improve the quality of services
lobby or campaign at a local, regional or national level.

We make grants of one to three years that are appropriate to the size and needs of each charity.
