We’re doing things differently for our new funding: placing communities at the centre of grant-making by giving VCSE organisations the power to decide who and what to fund.
This helps to make decisions about funding democratic and effective, allocating grants in ways that reflect the needs and priorities of local VCSE organisations.
What is the funding for?
Grants of £500 to £10,000 are available to VCSE organisations to support their involvement and active contribution to Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities. This is a programme building on the ‘Big Conversation’ with residents, using workshops and other forms of local engagement to:
- Improve health and wellbeing;
- Connect with communities; and
- Reduce health inequalities.
The programme is working in 10 areas of Wakefield District, however this fund is focused on organisations working in:
- Delivery Area 1: South Kirkby and Moorthorpe
- Delivery Area 2: Wakefield City Centre (including Portobello, Agbrigg & Belle Vue)
Attend an Information Session
We’re holding some short online Information Sessions where you can learn more about the fund and ask any questions you have about the application and decision-making process.
We’ll send you the link to join this workshop when you’ve registered your place. This workshop will be on Zoom.
If you need any support with booking, have any accessibility requirements, or would like to get in touch before the workshop, you can contact us at info@nova-wd.org.uk or 01924 367418.
