What documents are needed as part of my application

Organisations must have a governing document to receive funding.

You will need to provide both your governing document and group/business bank account details if you are successful in your funding application.

Depending on who your activity/project is aimed at we may request other documents, for example, a safeguarding policy if you are working with children or vulnerable adults.

How are applications approved

Applications are considered by local Councillors via a voting process and you will be informed of the decision within six weeks of the funding window closing date

Before applying
