Comic Relief

There are still many communities in the UK that suffer from economic and social deprivation and the current economic climate may make this situation worse. This programme aims to empower local people enabling them to create lasting change in their communities. Projects should be run by people directly affected by the issues they are dealing with and priority will be given to small, locally based groups or organisations in areas of disadvantage that have a clear understanding of the needs of their community. This can also include “Communities of Interest” which cover a wider geographical area.

While groups will be using a range of activities 50% of the available funds must go to sports projects that

increase access to sport and exercise for people who face social exclusion and isolation
help people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

The remaining funding will support community groups running projects that

increase local services,
builds skills of local people,
increase community cohesion
respond to local economic needs.

Currently the priorities for this fund are as follows

Older people causes
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues.
helping people who are expericiencing difficulited in their lives

Grants are available from £1,000 up to £10,000. Applications for sums under £5,000 are particularly welcome.
