Who can apply?
The Voicescape Community Fund aims to encourage and support grassroots community organisations. This means small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage people to get involved as volunteers and who just need a bit of financial help to be able to work with their community in the way they’d like.
Applicants must have an annual income of less than £150,000.
Applications should meet one of the following fund priorities:
- Projects which support those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis e.g. food banks, warm spaces, financial and welfare advice, baby banks etc.
- Projects providing educational and skills development activities e.g. IT sessions, activities to improve employment opportunities, language classes etc.
There is an online application form
