PCVS has provided administration and project management for Cambridgeshire Global Grants since 2001.  The aim of the programme is to give local voluntary/community groups and small businesses the opportunity to apply for developmental funding for their organisations.

Successful grants will enhance people’s lives by increasing skills, confidence, motivation and self-esteem.  Local communities and charities benefit through an improvement to the quality of life and increasing social inclusion for its residents.  The Global Grant partnership consists of match funders and partners matching ‘in-kind’ support from both the statutory and voluntary sectors.

Cambridgeshire Global Grants awarded a total of £ 156,000.30 in 2005 across Cambridgeshire.  The below graph shows areas the money was distributed to.
