About

The Council is seeking voluntary and community organisations for flexible funding to support the delivery of services, projects and activities that benefit the local community and help deliver the Council’s corporate priorities. Applications form part of a detailed commissioning process and funding will be awarded to organisations that can best demonstrate they can achieve the Council’s specified outcomes. There are five Funds (A–E): Fund A - Advice; Fund B - Improved Voluntary and Community Sector Support in light of LGR; Fund C - Improved Mental Health and Wellbeing for Children and Young People who are victims of Domestic Abuse; Fund D - Improved Mental Health and Wellbeing for Older People with Long Term Conditions; Fund E - The Armed Forces Community is better supported locally. Applicants may only bid within one Fund and must identify which fund and lot they are bidding for (for example, an organisation may apply for Lot 1 and/or Lot 2 of Fund A).
