Community Building Grant - cash to help groups build better communities

The £1 million Community Building Grant was launched in June 2012 to give community and voluntary groups the boost needed to get a major project started.

Grants between £10,000 to £250,000 were available to fund community building projects or permanent equipment, such as play or sports facilities. The aim of the fund was to strengthen local communities.

12 grants were awarded to local groups ranging from £10,276 to £250,000. If you would like to see the list of projects that have been supported please click on the Successful Projects tab on the left hand side of the page.
