Comic Relief Local Communities Programme This programme aims to empower local people, enabling them to create lasting change in their communities. Projects should be run by local people directly affected by the issues they are dealing with and priority will be given to small, locally based groups and organisations in areas of disadvantage that have a clear understanding of the needs of their community. 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.

As this is an incredibly competitive programme (in the last round 1 in 17 applications was successful) MVSC is offering one to one surgeries to enable your group to submit the best possible application. Please call Beverley on 8685 2277 or email beverley@mvsc.co.uk to book a slot.
