Community Grant Scheme
The purpose of this guide is to provide easy to
follow information and guidance on how to apply for support and
contact numbers. It has been produced in appreciation of both the
importance of the activities of voluntary and community groups and
the energy of those who work within them.
Community Grants 2011/12
Funding is available from the Community Grant Scheme of up to
£3,000 to support community groups and organisations with
cultural and leisure interests wishing to develop, adapt or improve
community facilities, services and leisure activities within
Cheshire East.
Grants are only available for facilities, projects, events or
activities where a demand or need can be demonstrated and where no
similar facilities, projects, events or activities are available
within the immediate geographical or interest area.
There are three categories of grants, of which there is one
application form to be completed:
Facilities (up to £3,000)
- Any buildings used for community purposes, open space areas,
play areas
Activities (up to £500)
- Any activities which contribute to the development and
wellbeing of the community
Events (up to £250)
- Events which benefit and involve whole communities (not
