Funding for organisations and projects which harness lived experience of communities to bring local benefit.
Administered by Groundwork UK, the Comic Relief Community Fund exists to support work across England that aligns with four strategic themes:
- A Safe Place to Be: Supporting people to rebuild their lives because of homelessness or forced migration
- Children Survive and Thrive: Supporting children up to the age of 11 to grow, play and learn
- Gender Justice: Championing those who identify as women and girls, including initiatives tackling domestic violence, abuse or exploitation
- Mental Health Matters: Supporting good mental health in communities and tackling stigma and discrimination
Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations with a turnover of less than £250,000 can apply to the fund, which is split into two levels:
- Capacity Building grants of up to £1,000 to be spent on activities to strengthen operations and governance (all applications must include this grant)
- Project Delivery grants of up to £9,000 to deliver projects that fit with the programme’s strategic themes
Projects must be completed within 12 months of receiving the grant.
