We operate a number of grant aid programmes and provide information on other opportunities available:

Community Chest Grant Scheme 2022/23

Over the last two years, the Community Chest has welcomed applications that focused on helping residents during and recovering from the pandemic. This resulted in the delivery of projects and initiatives developed by the community for the community.

This year, applications are welcomed that will help us tackle the four Grand Challenges of providing for our residents:

  • a Good Place
  • a Good Start
  • Good Health and
  • Good Work.

We are now inviting applications from organisations or groups who require financial help to deliver projects that address one or more of the challenges.
