About this event
The Strengthening Communities Grant Scheme provides funding to eligible community and voluntary sector organisations of up to £15,000 for organisational and service development so they can deliver the services our residents need now and in the future. The key focus for this grant scheme is on supporting groups to become more resilient and financially sustainable so they can continue to support our communities and adapt to changing needs.
The scheme is open for applications from 10th March 2025 and the deadline for applications is 5pm on 23rd April 2025.
The grants can be used to support a range of organisational development activities such as developing new income streams, improving efficiency, redesigning services or upskilling staff and volunteers. Funding can also be used to support service development such as expanding already successful services into new parts of the borough or developing new services to meet gaps in current provision. In this round, there is also the opportunity for groups to apply for two years funding if their project meets specific criteria.
Information about the grant and how to apply is available here. Strengthening Communities Grant scheme - https://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/funding
At this session representatives from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council will explain the scheme criteria, what they are looking for, how applications will be assessed and answer any questions you have.
Date of session: Monday 24th March 2025 12:30-13:30 via Zoom.
