We offer funding to non-profit making organisations across North Somerset to deliver services for the benefit of North Somerset residents.

Applications from the voluntary and community sector are welcome for services that contribute to the aims of the Corporate Plan:

  • Promoting lifelong learning opportunities
  • Enhancing health and well-being
  • Protecting and improving the environment
  • Building safer and stronger communities
  • Increasing prosperity
  • Improving the way we work

or the Local Area Agreement priorities:

  • Children and young people
  • Economic development and environment
  • Health and well-being
  • Safer and stronger communities

The scheme is not intended for capital purchases and further information on alternative funding sources is available from Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS) or the Quartet Community Foundation.

Applicants must fulfil certain criteria and provide evidence that financial support is needed. The deadline for applications for the next funding period April 2009 to March 2010 was mid-November 2008.
