Bradford, Kirklees, Blackburn with Darwen, Hyndburn, Oldham, Manchester, Rochdale, Pendle
This competition is open to all organisations and further information can be found at:
Are you concerned about the threat of closure of your local pub or post office for example, then why not take it over? Do you think you are better placed to run a local service currently run by your local authority, then why not investigate the possibility of delivering it yourself?
There are Pre-Feasibility Grants available for amounts of up to £10,000 for organisations to build internal capacity to help them to compete to deliver public services and/or own and manage assets.
Your second opportunity to apply for funding from the Cheetham Community First programme will run from the 11 February 2013, with all applications to be received by midday on 28 February 2013.
This is a matched funding programme, which means that every £1 provided in funding must be matched by a similar amount of in-kind donations (this means donations of cash, services, free products or volunteer time). The fund is to assist not for profit, voluntary and community groups to develop exciting projects which meet Cheetham’s ward priorities.
Manchester City Council (MCC) recognises the important role Work Clubs play in providing flexible and informal employment support to workless Manchester residents.
In late 2011, Manchester City Council in partnership with JCP surveyed all 23 active Work Clubs to identify the challenges they face in delivering support to unemployed residents. Through the survey, Work Club leaders identified a number of delivery challenges where MCC and JCP could provide support.
The community associations Manchester City Council support have historically been established community centres or associations providing a range of services and activities, or enabling others to provide services and activities, for local people. Just over £430,000 is spent on grant funding to support the valuable work these groups carry out in the community and we believe these associations have played a vital role in supporting local residents in response to local needs.

The Mars brand Galaxy Hot Chocolate has created a charitable fund to help small, local community groups and charities across the UK.
For the next three months it will select organisations to receive a donation of £300. A total of 60 donations will be made. There will also be a monthly People's Choice award in which the public can vote for their favourite local charity or community project.
The Galaxy Hot Chocolate Fund are looking to help small, local community based projects and community minded people.
The Enthusiasm Trust has received funding from the Home Office through Manchester City Council to tackle Violent Crime, and Gun & Gang related crime.
The Trust have developed an Arrows programme which is a capacity building project to improve the ability of organisations and individuals to effect change within their communities.
Projects throughout England now have the opportunity to apply for repeat and on-going activities under Awards for All in a pilot scheme running until the end of March 2013.
Currently Awards for All does not fund on-going, regular or repeat activities, as the programme has focused on ‘new’ project ideas. However, in these challenging times the Big Lottery are increasingly aware of the pressures smaller groups face with rising costs and cuts to funding, and want to respond to this by looking at alternative ways of funding projects that support those most in need.
