Worcestershire Community Foundation (WCF) is launching a new funding programme to support local communities through small grants, positively impacting all areas of the county.

The aim of the Strengthening Worcestershire Fund is to support disadvantaged local communities continuing to experience the ongoing effects of cost-of-living, by delivering help for a wide range of projects via charities, community groups and social enterprises. Whilst inviting applications from throughout Worcestershire, we particularly welcome applications for projects where deprivation is greatest.

WCF has a total of £200,00 to distribute across the county.

The fund is offered in partnership with Worcestershire County Council (WCC) which is providing match funding on a 1 to 1 basis.

Funding priorities

Applications may be made for projects which contribute to one or more of the following priorities:

• cost of living / food and fuel poverty
• ageing well reducing social isolation and loneliness
• supporting people to stay safe and well in their community
• information, advice and guidance
• supporting unpaid carers
