The new Cash Grants Programme for 2014-15 has now been launched. This funding is available to spend on projects in the ward that meet identified local priorities. The Cash Grant Fund is here to help your good ideas take root and grow.

The Fund is open to formal established groups, voluntary groups and other community groups, as well as groups of residents working together for the first time. School Parent Teacher Associations can also apply if they have the support of local residents and parents and their project will benefit the wider community and not just the school.

The Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund is a registered charity and was established to promote, enhance, improve and protect both the natural and built environment in our local community. The Trustees award grants of a maximum of £3,000.

Each year Manchester Airports Group contributes £100,000 to the Fund; any fines levied at aircraft that have breached their stringent noise limits are also paid in to the Fund. These funds are then used to support neighbourhood and community projects throughout the area.
