We Love MCR Stronger Communities Small Grants Fund is calling on community groups and individuals in Manchester to apply for funding of up to £2,000 for initiatives that will bring their communities together. The Charity wants to celebrate Manchester’s uniqueness, multicultural neighbourhoods and youthful energy.
We Love MCR are looking to support projects which have one or more of the following themes:
- Helping in the early years – supporting children 0-4 years old, and their parents, to make the best start possible in terms of learning, health and/or nutrition
- Combating loneliness and social exclusion – supporting groups of people who are at risk of exclusion from community life. For example as a result of advanced age or disability
- Protecting and improving our open spaces – delivering work which ensures public spaces are maintained and improved for the benefit of local people, or expanding access to open spaces for all members of the community
- Offering positive youth activities – providing sustainable, structured programmes/activities to help communities of young people to live safely and successfully
To apply you must be supporting or working with communities within the City of Manchester. Applications from projects based in the wider Greater Manchester area will not be considered. Applications from individuals will be considered but you must have a sponsor organisation, who will endorse your application and act as a guarantor.
