Healthier, Happier, Caring: Community Capacity Building
The 'Healthier, Happier, Caring: Community Capacity Building' theme aims to support the good work and resilience of our communities and the groups that operate within them.

A proposal for the delivery of a grant scheme under this theme, to support smaller projects (under £250k) by communities and businesses is being taken to Cabinet in mid-February 2023. Subject to approval, further details on how to apply for these funds will be shared soon after.
