Funding Opportunities
Funding for Community Groups & Tenant And Resident Associations
Applying for funding can be a complex business and many people are put off by the large application forms and procedures that often have to be completed before a successful funding bid can be completed.
This guide aims to give an overview of funding opportunities that might be of interest to tenants and community groups. It is not, however, a comprehesive guide and we would strongly advice you seek advice on what grants available to you locally.
