Restarting Communities Fund

26 July 2021/Categories: Grants_and_Funding

A new Carlisle funding scheme has been launched to help communities come back together post lockdown and to stimulate economic activity in the district.

Carlisle City Council has allocated £50,000 to support parish councils, community centres and constituted urban community groups to provide community activities and support the local economy.

This fund is designed to allow parishes and local communities to put in place additional measures to create and promote a safe environment for local trade and business, particularly in high streets, support the visitor economy and to bring the community together in a safe way.

The fund will contribute 80% of the total costs of agreed projects (Parish council or urban communities contribution 20% of total cost from their own reserves/fundraising activities/other grants).

The fund is available to parish councils, community centres in unparished areas and constituted urban community groups within Carlisle District. The fund can provide 80% of the total funding for new projects that:

  • Promote the district as a vibrant place in which to live, work and visit;
  • Increase economic activity;
  • Celebrate the civic history and heritage of the District;
  • Engage with people from the local community; and/or
  • Benefit the health and wellbeing of the community.

The window for applications is open between Monday 26 July and Monday 9 August 2021.
