Early Grant Information for NGOs
It is funded through the Council’s Housing Revenue Account, so the focus of the Community Fund is to support tenant-led communities across the City.
The exact allocation is based on the number of Council housing properties within the Ward and on local issues such as employment, poverty, health etc. within each Ward (through an Index of Multiple Deprivation multiplier).
