The Mill, as part of the funding it’s received from NESTA, wants to help small community groups & individuals in our local area. We’ll be awarding small grants so that you can do some of the things you may have always wanted to do, but not had the money to try out.
We are looking for people and groups that work with or are made up of:
Older people
Families with children
People living with illness
People who are not currently working
People who are vulnerable
We are particularly keen on funding people & groups that have never applied for grants before – now is your chance to experiment and try things!
If you need any help or advice on the grants programme please contact john@themill-coppermill.org or come to The Mill.
We would also like to fund groups working with lots of our different local nationalities & faiths as well as those working on environmental issues.
Under the terms of our grant we can only fund groups or people that work in the Blackhorse Action Group residents’ association area or that will make a real difference to people living in this area.
Grants are between £250 and a maximum of £1,000.
You will need community match, which means pledges of volunteer time or money towards your project.
To apply you need a grants pack.
