Are you working to improve the lives of people in and around the Aylesbury? If so, we want to help.
Notting Hill Housing is launching a new Aylesbury Community Grants Programme making up to £15,000 available to local groups or individuals interested in running events or projects in the area.
There are small grants of up to £500 (Level 1) and larger grants of up to £1,500 (Level 2) on offer once the scheme opens on Monday, 13 April 2015.
You have a month to apply, which you can do by downloading and completing the forms at the bottom of this page and returning them to Meghan Doyle at aylesbury@nhg.org.uk or to Meghan Doyle, Notting Hill Housing, The Old Pharmacy, 2nd Floor Taplow, Thurlow Street, London, SE17 2UQ. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 13 May 2015.
Please download guidance notes from this page to help you complete the form. Notting Hill Housing's Equality and Diversity Strategy is also available to download for your reference.
To qualify for a grant you will need to be able to show that:
- at least 75% of those benefitting from the grant (ie participants or beneficiaries) are from the Aylesbury
- the project or activity is inclusive
- you have policies in place for safeguarding vulnerable adults, child protection, equal opportunities/diversity policies, or if not you’ll need to sign up to adhere to Notting Hill Housing’s policies
- you have relevant DBS (formerly CRB) checks in place if you’re working with vulnerable adults, children or young people.
Successful applicants will also be required to write a brief impact report, once they have delivered their project, on how they used the grant and how it benefitted the Aylesbury community.
The Aylesbury Community Grants Programme will be open for applications twice a year. This round of grant applications runs from Monday 13 April 2015, to Wednesday 13 May 2015. The next round will be in September 2015.
