HealthBloom Funding in Kirklees

Local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities even better places to live are now invited to apply for funding to turn their ideas into reality.

Active Communities is a funding programme for community groups and not-for-profit organisations aimed at organisations working in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, with an income of less than £350,000 a year or an average of £350,000 over two years, seeking investment of between £5,000 and £50,000 for projects lasting up to two years.

They are looking for small and local projects, genuinely designed and run by local people. By small, they mean just a small group of people on an estate, in a few streets or villages.

They're also looking for great ideas from communities of interest. By this, they mean a group of people who have things in common and wish to come together to address something that is important to them. These ideas could be based in one neighbourhood, or cover a wider area.

Before applying, groups must be active in the areas shown on the online map (use the post code checker) Go to the website and click on the interactive map of Kirklees to see if the area is eligible for funding.
