We are happy to announce our community grants scheme. The aim is to provide the opportunity for residents and local communities to improve their quality of life through local action and activities. As well as encouraging and supporting existing initiatives. /R.I.C.E/Wii Fit.JPG)
We will consider grants for the following sort of things:
- a social event that brings you and your neighbours together
- a workshop or sporting activity for young people and children
- a recycling or gardening project that improves your estate or scheme
- equipment for your local community group.
These are just some suggestions but we expect the real creativity to come from you, so let’s hear your ideas. Grants will be up to £2000 but a typical amount would be £500.
To apply, read the guidelines below, and then fill out the form.
Viridian Community Grants Guidelines
- Grants will be awarded up to £2000 but a typical amount would be £500. The award will be at the discretion of the Grants Steering Group who meet every 3 months.
Please complete all sections of the application form. We need to know who you and your group are, what you need the money for, and how it will benefit your local community and Viridian residents. Each group or individual will be entitled to one grant per 12 months. For equipment, services or other external expenditure we will need to see proof of cost before money is released. Once you have been awarded a grant you will need to sign a grant confirmation form before we give you the money. This will confirm what the money is being used for, when the project or activity will take place, how you will measure the success and what Viridian can do support, help and publicise your project or activity. All projects funded by Viridian Community Grants must be for the benefit of Viridian Residents and accessible in accordance with Viridians' equal opportunities policy. Any money awarded but not spent must be paid back to Viridian.
