The Community Cohesion Grants Scheme has been running for over two years. To date, more than £30,000 has been awarded to local groups . This grant funding of £50,000 over three years supports activities that help improve relationships between people from different backgrounds.
Community cohesion is one of eight themes in Crawley’s Sustainable Community Strategy. It includes the vision: “A town where people from different communities interact across a range of cultural, leisure and social activities, are mutually supportive of each other, and feel part of a wider community.”
Further to a review in summer of 2012, the criteria was updated to reflect new guidance from the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Community and voluntary groups who have a constitution and a bank account are invited to apply to the council for a share of the funding, up to a maximum of £2,500. The scheme is open all year round.
To be successful groups will need to meet at least one of these key priorities:
All applications must also demonstrate that they promote equal opportunities.
