September is Funding Month at WVCA!
Throughout September, we’ll be putting an extra focus on helping Wolverhampton’s voluntary and community organisations find funding, diversify their income and become more financially resilient.
Funding for Local Community Projects
The One Stop Community Partnership Programme provides funding and practical support to local community groups working to improve their neighbourhoods. It supports projects addressing issues such as food poverty, vulnerability and isolation, low-income families, local sport, environmental improvements and reducing waste.
Funding for New Community Allotment Sites
The Green Allotments New Allotment Site Fund helps residents in England create new, community-managed allotment sites by funding the purchase of suitable land. Rather than awarding a cash grant, Green Allotments buys and retains ownership of the land, helping local residents establish an allotment society to manage it.
Funding for Local Community Organisations
The Arnold Clark Community Fund – Community Support programme provides funding for charities and community organisations delivering projects that make a difference to local communities. The current application window is specifically for animal welfare and arts & culture organisations.
Funding for Archive Research and Innovation
The National Archives Research and Innovation Grants support research, innovation and transformative projects involving archive collections in England and Wales, particularly around digital transformation, environmental sustainability and inclusive practice.
Funding for a Women Veterans Oral History Project
Funding is available for a major UK-wide project to capture, preserve and share the experiences of women who have served in the UK Armed Forces, creating an official digitised oral history collection in partnership with Imperial War Museums.
