Grants
Carlisle City Council and other government organisations provide
various types of grants for community groups and individuals.
Information and guidance is available in this section.
Neighbourhood Forums grants
Cumbria County Council makes grants available
across Cumbria through neighbourhood forums. Grants are available
for voluntary, non profit making and community groups for community
based projects on an area basis.
Groups
Grants awarded have included applications from
playgroups, resident's action groups, sports groups, youth
clubs, environmental groups, community centres and local
charities.
Projects
Successful applications have been for a wide
rang of projects including: setting up costs, educational toys,
newsletters, notice boards, craft equipment, food co-ops, emergency
information, pantomimes and summer play schemes.
Funds
Neighbourhood Forums deal with their grants
in different ways and can also have slightly differing budgets.
It's always worth having a chat with the Neighbourhood
Development Officer for the area your project will be in.
