Stronger together community fund

This fund supports projects that are community-led, bringing local people together to work on things that matter to them where they live.

Projects must follow an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach to achieve positive benefits for the local community.

There are 2 types of grants available from this fund:

• small sparks grants of £100 to £500
• stronger together grants of £1,000 to £10,000

The grants can be used to fully fund or contribute to community projects, events or activities. These can be new initiatives or existing ones.

Information on all allocated grants are published on the open data webpage.
