SEMLEP’s Community Grants programme is offering VCSE organisations grant funding between £10,000 to £20,000 to deliver projects that help local people to get back into work – in the South East Midlands LEP area, as well as Cherwell and Aylesbury Vale.

Unlike other grant schemes, Community Grants can cover 100% of the project cost, meaning there is no cost to the applicant.

The programme will be opening for the fourth funding round on 17th of August 2020. They want to help as many organisations to benefit from this funding as possible.

Two webinars have also been made available, they are free to attend and are aimed at helping organisations to understand the funding, eligibility and funding process. You can register for these below:
