Funding and communities

Selwood Housing's Stronger Communities Fund is a grant scheme aimed at improving the lives of our customers and the communities where they live.

Our grant funding can be used to cover the whole cost of a project, or as a contribution towards a larger cost. We generally distribute small grants but will consider applications requesting a maximum of £2000. 

Applications must be for projects that can evidence a benefit to our customers or a community initiative in one of our neighbourhoods.

To be considered for funding, your project must also deliver at least one of the following benefits for Selwood Housing customers:

• To provide relief, support or essential goods for those in need due to poverty.
• To promote tolerance, understanding and respect between diverse groups within our communities.
• To involve more people in local decision-making.
• To involve more people in the life of their community.
• Strengthening existing community groups and supporting the formation of new ones.
• To help people to learn new skills or improve existing ones, thereby fostering self-reliance, confidence, and independence.
• To improve the appearance of the local area and/or make it a better place to live in.

If you feel you have a project that fits the above criteria and would like to apply for funding, please complete the application form below and email it to makeadifference@selwoodhousing.com.
