We are thrilled to launch our new Thriving Communities fund which is aimed at supporting not-for-profit groups and organisations to deliver cohesive, sustainable, and resilient communities. Grants from £1,000 up to £5,000 are available for initiatives and projects that actively support Sovereign Network Group communities. We will support a broad range of activities but particularly welcome projects that focus on the following areas: Youth, Health and well-being, Ageing-well, Social Inclusion and Isolation (including EDI), Environment & Place, Customer Voice, Employment support, Food Insecurity, Digital Inclusion and skills, Money Matters and Debt Advice. To apply, you must for this fund, you must be a local not-for-profit group, community organisation, or registered charity and you must be able to demonstrate how you will engage with and benefit SNG residents. Priority will be given to applications that can clearly demonstrate their objectives, the outcomes that their project will achieve and the difference that will be made by their project as a whole. We will also assess applications on how they aim to engage with, and benefit, SNG customers and communities within the above areas. Further information about projects we will fund, eligibility and our communities can be found on our website – https://www.sng.org.uk/thriving-communities.
