Funding Opportunities
Housing
With a shortage of new properties, outdated rental stock and a lack of support for the most vulnerable, more and more people are ending up in unsuitable, unsafe or unaffordable accommodation.
Nationwide was offering grants of up to £50,000 for individuals and projects with innovative housing solutions. This fund has now been closed, but you can find out about current initiatives from Nationwide by following the link below.
Emergency Response
The Prince’s Countryside Fund had grants of up to £10,000 available for projects from across the UK that are working to create resilient rural communities. Legally-constituted not-for-profit organisations could apply for one year of grant funding from the Fund. This round of funding is now closed but you can see current projects and information by following the link below.
Poverty
The government’s £500 million Hardship Fund provides council tax relief to vulnerable people and households to help those affected most by coronavirus. Councils can also use the funding to provide further discretionary support to vulnerable people through other support arrangements, such as Local Welfare Schemes.
Health Xchange
Health Xchange was a lottery-funded programme delivered by PCVS on behalf of Peterborough Plus. The project empowered small community groups to deliver health and wellbeing activities in their locality.
A similar project was delivered by PCVS in 2022-24 funded by the Evelyn Trust.
Both projects have now ended.
