Tenant Community Grants

What is a Tenant Community Grant?

A Tenant Community Grant helps fund a project, by up to £1000, that benefits the local community. We look to fund at least six projects a year.

The application is easy and can be filled out by the project organiser for the group.

These grants offer up to £1,000 to be used for things such as:

• gardening equipment
• community gardens or benches
• updating communal rooms
• organising local events

Previous grants have funded:

• Benches, planters, seeds, and gardening supplies for a community garden
• New blinds and equipment for communal rooms
• Funding for a monthly film night
• Equipment and supplies to start a weekly games club (including badminton, indoor carpet bowls, and table tennis)

How can I apply for a Tenant Community Grant?

First, consult with your neighbours and other local residents to get support for your project. It's also a good idea to talk to your housing officer about your plans. Once you have a plan ready for your community project, complete an application form, detailing:

• How much you are applying for (up to a maximum of £1,000)
• A description of the project
• A photo of the area, a plan, or a sketch of what you want to do
• How your project will benefit local residents
• How the project will be managed, and who will maintain it.
