Small grants up to £500

Part of the Hinckley & Bosworth VCS Partnership, the Community Volunteering Fund offers community grants of up to £500 to support grassroots volunteering and community activity across the Hinckley & Bosworth Borough.

Funded by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council and administered by the RCC, it offers a quick and easy way to apply for a small grant for your community.

Although a wide range of community projects are eligible, priorities for funding are:

• Supporting Rural Communities: We aim to tackle rural isolation and/or Digital Poverty by encouraging applications for projects that bridge the gap, such as community transport schemes, Digital initiatives or initiatives encouraging social interaction within rural areas.

• Empowering Young People: Especially welcome applications for engaging activities or projects that connect positively with young people across all communities.

• Addressing Climate Change; We encourage applications for projects that support initiatives tackling climate change.

To be eligible, you need to be a group active within Hinckley & Bosworth who are working towards meeting the needs of residents and the wider community.
