Purpose
The programme aims to empower local people, enabling them to create lasting change in their communities.

You can apply for funding to:

• increase local services;
• build skills of local people;
• increase community cohesion;
• respond to local economic needs;
• increase access to sport and exercise for people who face social exclusion and isolation.
