Purpose
We recognise the significant contributions made by the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors in providing projects and services that improve the social and community wellbeing of the borough.
Although not statutorily obliged to provide grant support, where funding allows, we are committed to financially supporting the VCSE sector organisations to deliver projects and activities which have a positive and beneficial impact on local communities and residents within the Borough.
This Grant Application process ensures that decisions are consistent and fair, whilst ensuring a sustainable approach to funding.
