We provide funding to help constituted groups with day-to-day running costs, to pay for photocopying, stationery, postage, venue hire, travel expenses and refreshments.
Our Community Grant Fund applications are NOW OPEN!
The fund allows Community Groups to apply for funding to deliver projects and activities that will benefit tenants and communities. This could be to help organise social activities to help reduce loneliness, or improve communal garden areas, or activities for young people, and so on. Constituted community groups can apply up to £250 and informal action groups, gardening groups, social groups etc can apply up to £100 vouchers.
Some projects that we have funded in the past are Community Coronation parties, food pantry set up, plants for communal gardens, computer equipment and security fencing.
The deadline for Community Grant Fund applications is Friday 10th October 2025.
Tenants are invited to join our Community Grant Panel to help decide on community grant awards. To get involved, or if you have any questions or require help with your application, please contact our tenant engagement team at tenantengagement@bury.gov.uk
