View Funding Opportunities

Kirklees Council have made more money available for councillors to help organisations and groups support people in our local places during the Covid-19 pandemic.

£30,000 of extra funding is now available for each ward (which is a local place that 3 councillors represent) through their Ward Project Budgets. Please make contact with your local councillors if you are part of a group or project in need of urgent funding to support people in your local place during the coronavirus outbreak.

How much can you apply for?

There are no fixed limits – the funding is decided by your local councillors. You’ll be asked to supply a breakdown of costs, including any other contributions made through grants, fundraising or volunteering.

Who can apply?

• Registered charities
• Constituted community and voluntary organisations
• Mutual aid groups who are working with an Anchor organisation
• Town and Parish Councils
• Faith organisations
• Schools
• Local businesses wishing to deliver charitable support

What can be funded?

A few examples of what can be funded include:

• Existing and new groups supporting vulnerable people who are self-isolating.
• Befriending groups that provide support for people in isolation.
• Groups that support the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people.
• Organisations that provide advice and support about employment and welfare benefits.
• Support with equipment and materials so that community support can be delivered safely.
• Help with running costs such as volunteer expenses and transport costs.

Please contact your councillors to discuss your ideas.
