Local Community Projects Funding is offered to organisations supporting people in need. Any not for profit organisation can apply, however, larger organisations with a turnover in excess of £300,000 are unlikely to be successful. We are interested in projects that improve resilience within your community of interest. This can include sessional activities/respite support, equipment for sessional activities, trips and residential breaks. We are also interested in new approaches and innovative ideas as well as sustainable approaches to supporting your community of interest. We do not fund running costs or continuation of existing and ongoing work. All projects must support a community of interest, ie people who are: • Disabled or suffering chronic illness • Living in poverty • Voluntary carers • Homeless • Isolated older people • Other demonstrable significant need We are unable to fund the following excluded items: • Ongoing running costs • Contributions towards larger projects/fundraising appeals • Friends of associations • Overseas travel • Curricular activities that take place during the school day • Purchase of vehicles • Major capital projects • Sponsorship of events or activities We are more likely to make grants to local organisations based near Greggs shops. Please use the shop locator on the Greggs website to find your nearest shop.
