Community Challenge Fund Expands, Providing More Support for our Levelling up Communities

Posted on: September 21, 2022

Sometimes it only takes a small amount of money to bring a good idea to life and the Community Challenge Fund is a simple way for local residents in our levelling up communities to access money that could make a real difference.

To increase reach and support, fund applications have been increased and criteria expanded, so that bids can now be made for between £300 to £5,000 to fund a new, not for profit scheme, group, initiative or idea.  Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies (CIC) or Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIO) may also now apply.

Further information can be found here: https://www.essexfuture.org.uk/community-fund/

Thursday 29th September

Harlow, Rainbow Centre
