Introduction

This funding is open to not-for-profit, community-led and voluntary organisations only.

We welcome proposals that introduce new services as well as those that continue, strengthen or enhance existing services. We're keen to support improvements to community facilities, helping to create inclusive, accessible spaces that benefit everyone.

Things to remember

• Applications are open from 13 July to 14 September 2026.
• You cannot apply for something that has already happened.
• Projects will be assessed against the same criteria - you need to have read and understand the eligibility and criteria guidance. The scoring sheet has been supplied for reference. 
• You must complete all sections to make sure that your application can be considered.
• Applicants will be contacted w/c 5 October 2026 after the Grants Panel meet. 
• Successful applicants will need to provide their bank details so that grants can be transferred to the organisation’s bank account.
• Once the signed Grant Agreement and organisation bank details have been received, the grant will be paid retrospectively on receipt of invoices detailing project expenditure. Please contact us if retrospective payments are a barrier for your organisation and may discourage you from applying at h4hcg@hart.gov.uk.
• The contacts you provide in your application need to understand the aim of the project and how it will be delivered. You should ensure that the governing body of your organisation is happy with what is written and with our terms and conditions.
