Community Cares Fund
Our community is full of thiriving charitable organisations doing vital work that benefits thousands of local people.
Our Community Cares Fund gives grants to initiatives that address the theme of 'community cohesion and integration'. It aims to support people in playing an active part in our communities, to reduce barriers and inequalities, and improve social contact and experiences.
Since the launch of the Fund in April 2020 we've awarded 250 grants, supporting more than 146,450 people in our local communities.
Our Community Cares Fund is currently closed for applications. The next round will open in November 2026. View our previous recipients below:
