Funding: 


Comic Relief Local Communities Programme

The programme aims to empower local people, enabling them to create lasting change in their communities. Projects should be run by 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.

Under the programme, organisations 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. 

Deadline 30th September 2011
