Community News - Funding
New grants available specifically for not-for-profit community groups in Telford and Wrekin.
Grants available for local community projects
Applications for grants of up to £1,000 are available to not-for-profit community groups in Telford and Wrekin for community and environmental projects that make a difference.
As part of part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s contract with grounds contractor idverde, funding has been set aside to help local groups with funding for projects that will improve their local green spaces, enhance the environment or boost people’s wellbeing.
Applications could go towards a range of ideas, such as new planters to brighten up a community or public space, bulbs and seeds for community gardens or play equipment for a local play area. As well as practical equipment, funding can also go towards promotion and education.
Two funds are available:
The idverde Community Investment Fund Telford and Wrekin offers grants of up to £500 and has been set up for Telford and Wrekin groups only.
Deadline for first round applications: 8 November 2020
A second pot, The idverde Community Investment Fund offers grants of up to £1,000 to groups located in areas where idverde operates, which includes Telford and Wrekin. This is a rolling grant scheme with up to £40,000 available every year.
