Community Development Fund
The community development fund has been set up to help fund communities working together, on local projects, which have a positive effect in their area. Connexus welcome applications for funds and assistance for new and existing projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Benefits our tenants and develops links with the wider community
- Encourages interaction between different generations within the whole community
- Leads to activities people want, but no one currently provides
- Generates training or employment opportunities
Community Development Fund - Grants up to £5,000
A long term investment in a project, for example:
- Better management of open spaces to enhance wildlife, clean up derelict space or get people running their own community gardens
- Community groups, such as sports teams, youth groups, parent and toddler groups to encourage new skills e.g. computer skills
- Skills development for young people such as basic mechanics, basic cookery or home maintenance, as long as the skills lead to employment or improved life skills
