Comic Relief Local Communities

Communities, Culture, Educating & Young People, Health | Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent, Gwynedd, Mid Glamorgan, Powys, South Glamorgan, West Glamorgan

Grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 are available.

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 or organisations in areas of disadvantage that have a clear understanding of the needs of their community.

Comic Relief supports work where there is clear evidence of beneficial impact on people and communities who are excluded or disadvantaged through low income, rural or social isolation, age, disabilities, race, sexuality or gender.

Grants will be awarded to innovative projects that: 

• increase local services,

• build skills of local people, 

• increase community cohesion 

• respond to local economic needs

The closing date for the next round is:

This programme is now CLOSED.

We have not yet received confirmation from our client that this programme will continue for future rounds.  If it does continue beyond June 2015, the criteria will be subject to alteration to reflect the changing priorities of this fund.
