Organisations that work with council tenants can now apply for a pot of money to get their community projects off the ground.
Community Fund grants aim to help voluntary, community and self-help groups who want to make a difference in their neighbourhood.
We know that over the last 18 months people have had to put their plans on hold so we’re hoping this is a great opportunity to jump start projects and bring people together again.
Previously successful bids include a community tool bank, greenhouse project, street art, gardening clubs, art classes, chairobic sessions and wildlife schemes.
Organisations that work with council tenants or in and around council housing estates in Sheffield can apply for the grant, with funding available for each ward.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 31st October 2021.
Apply for a Community Fund grant
The Furnival at Burngreave used its Community Fund grant to provide a craft club for local women that helps develop language skills through conversation, build friendships and gain confidence. A second project saw two colourful murals created in the area by local people, which encouraged creativity, an enjoyment of the outdoors and neighbourhood pride.
