People and communities Funding available for voluntary and community groups

Voluntary and community sector groups are able to apply for a range of grants. Some are small, one-off grants that support a community event or project, other grants are longer term and support a community service or facility.

There are two different types of funding available:

  • Neighbourhood Investment Fund: available to communities to make their neighbourhoods better places to live. Open for ongoing applications.
  • Community Events Funding 2023/24: available to registered groups as development funding, to support community based, not-for-profit celebrations that can demonstrate citywide impacts and benefits. Open for applications (closing Friday 3 February 2023)
