What's involved?
Our Springboard fund is perfect for supporting larger community projects, often awarding grants to local charities and community organisations to deliver projects that make a lasting positive impact. This funding can help organisations bring to life new projects or support the development of established projects which are at the heart of our communities.
These are challenging times and we know that it's more important than ever for us to continue to provide grant funding to those making a positive impact locally. We'd love for you to be part of making a positive difference in the community. As a tenant, you can give your views on the applications and provide feedback that will directly influence where our community funding is allocated.
This is a remote panel which means you’ll be able to do this from the comfort of your home.
