How much can I apply for?
Our Bringing Places Together small grants fund allows a maximum of £500 per project and a minimum of £200.
Social value
This places a financial value on how different interventions affect people's lives. It’s a way of measuring the positive benefits your work has on both individuals and communities. We can discuss this with you to see if your project can deliver social value and if so, we will support you to gather the required information.
Match funding
Where possible, all projects should have secured or should be seeking match funding – we can support and discuss this with you prior to applying to ensure you capture the full project cost as this could include volunteer time, which you can be costed.
Our area of operation
We only support applications that deliver their projects or services in Spennymoor, Middlestone Moor, Kirk Merrington, Aycliffe Village, West Cornforth, Dean Bank, Ferryhill, Newton Aycliffe, Middridge, Fishburn, Sedgefield, Trimdons, Bishop Middleham, Byers Green and Shildon.
