Community Chest

Community Chest

The Community Chest Grant is a funding stream open to individuals and group projects that encourage greater involvement in local community activities by providing projects which will benefit residents living in areas where we own or manage homes.  You can apply for grants up to £3,000.

We particularly welcome applications from 'gold' customers and applications that support activities and services for children, young people and older people. The results should lead to greater community involvement, more vibrant and cohesive communities, local regeneration and encouraging residents to become empowered and take an active part in their communities.
