All Capacity Building

The Royal Brewery Fund will support activity that encourage health, wellbeing, self-esteem and self-confidence especially through education, training and/or physical activity, encourage community pride, strengthen networks or bring different parts of the community together.

The Fund will be used solely to support registered charities and constituted community projects working in the following fields:
• Arts, music and culture
• Environment
• Social inclusion
• Social, economic regeneration
• Local community
• Education

Do you have a great idea for a community enterprise? Why not capture it on film and enter the Power to Change competition to win £1,000.

Send a short film (2-3 minutes – no longer) about an enterprise you’d like to start in your community. Maybe there’s an empty shop you could imagine transformed into a technology hub or a pub closing down which, with some top music nights, could be the centre of the community.

Nesta have set up the Policy and Research Bright Ideas Research Fund to provide small grants to develop interesting research projects and policy proposals in fields that relate to innovation.

Nesta hope that the fund will lead to interesting insights in its own right, and perhaps in due course to some larger research projects.

Nesta plan to fund a small number of projects over the course of the financial year 2014-15. You can apply for the fund any time during the year and applications will be reviewed batches.
