COMMUNITY GRANT - CAPACITY BUILDING

 Do you want to make a difference to your Community??

If so, Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council wants to hear from you.  Capacity Building grants are available for small community groups who want to encourage local activity and involvement and who need a small amount of money to get off the ground.

To get a grant you must be a small or new community group of Crewe and Nantwich Borough residents run on a wholly voluntary basis (without paid workers) and wanting to provide services or activities that will benefit local communities in the Borough.

Funding could be for:

  • Small one off payment for administrator expenses
  • Newsletters
  • Publicity
  • Stationery
  • Small items of equipment
  • Hire of meeting rooms
  • Training
  • Social or community events
  • Or any other reasonable costs of developing your group

BASED ON WHAT YOU NEED, GRANTS CAN BE FROM A FEW POUNDS UP TO £500
