Express Fund
Grants from the Express Programme are awarded to small, local voluntary and community organisations where a small amount of funding can make a difference in disadvantaged areas. The work of your organisation must benefit people who are disadvantaged or isolated. People may be isolated due to poverty, disability, age, location or culture. Priority is also given to groups that:
- Enable people to take opportunities that would otherwise not be available to them.
- Involve local people in improving their community.
- Reflect the concerns and priorities of people living and working in the area.
The maximum grant is £2000.
Applications to the Express Programme are accepted at any time and there are no closing dates. Applications are considered as and when they are received and applicants should be notified of the outcome within six weeks.
