Core Features of the Grants

Type of Funding

Staying Healthy Community Grants are revenue grants for health-related projects in Charnwood.  The scheme covers strictly ‘one-off’ expenditure, such as the purchase of equipment or building work, running of conferences, promotional campaigns, and events for small projects with community benefits. 

Who May Apply?

Properly constituted voluntary and community organisations or projects which carry out activities (other than fundraising) within Charnwood.

What Are the Limits on the Funding?

Staying Healthy Community Grants can provide grants of between £250 and £2,000. 

The Charnwood Grants Panel (the Panel) determines Staying Healthy Community Grants applications.  The Panel normally meets quarterly and applications can be submitted at any time. Applications are assessed before being considered by the Panel. Applications will usually be considered at the next meeting following their receipt, although this may not always be possible.

Applicants are advised to submit applications as early as possible, to ensure that there is enough time for the Grants Administrator to request further information if needed before applications are assessed.  If applications are submitted shortly before or on the deadline, we cannot guarantee that they will be checked before being assessed.
