Grants of up to £50,000, over one or two years, are available for projects that support vulnerable people with their housing needs
Nationwide Building Society has launched a new community funding scheme to tackle housing issues at a local level.
The programme is being delivered with support from UK Community Foundations.
Eligible applicants must be a UK registered charity, Community Land Trust or housing co-operative.
Applications will be assessed by HCF (the local community foundation) and then considered by a board, which is comprised of Nationwide members, employees and housing experts.
Applications can be made for:
- Staff/Volunteer costs for project delivery
- Development and capacity building costs
- Activity costs
- Small scale capital costs (e.g. items for project delivery such as computers, paint, gardening equipment)
- Building works and refurbishment costs - where they are essential to the successful delivery of the project
Deadline:
Applications must be submitted by 5pm on Friday 7 December 2018.
Funding decisions will be made in February 2019.
