We anticipate 1 to 2 application deadlines this year, depending on how much funding remains in each area. Funding is allocated on a first come first serve basis and some funding panels may allocate all available money in one go. For other neighbourhood areas there may be a second round of funding in the autumn.
You can read the application questions and prepare your answers in advance. Download the Community Grant Fund applicant guidance (Appendix 1 – Tips for a Good Application).
