Richmond Council’s latest round of the Cost of Living Grant Fund is open for application.

The fund has been set up to help local voluntary sector organisations respond to the cost of living crisis.

Local voluntary and community organisations can apply for between £5,000 to £15,000.

Projects will be considered under three priorities – community spaces, food provision, and services which help build community and individual capacity and resilience.

Organisations seeking less than £5,000, can apply to the Civic Pride Fund which is open for applications on a rolling basis.

Continuation funding for projects supported under the Cost of Living Grant Fund in 2023/24 will be considered where there is strong evidence of success and ongoing demand.

Two online Meet the Funder information events are available to attend, where you can find out more about the fund and ask questions:

• Wednesday 21 August, 12 noon – 1pm
• Thursday 5 September, 2.30pm – 3.30pm

To sign up, please email voluntarysector@richmond.gov.uk with your name, organisation and contact details, specifying which session you would like to attend.

If you are unable to join the sessions above, you can book a time with the Voluntary Sector Team to discuss your project, or call 020 8487 5112 / 020 8831 6450.

The application deadline is 9am on Monday 23 September 2024.
