Inclusion & Wellbeing Partnership Fund – Micro Grants

Aims/priorities: GM=EqAl, as part of the Live Well Community Fund wants to put trust and decision-making where they belong: in communities. These micro grants are part of our wider pilot, supporting people across Greater Manchester to connect, create and care for one another. 

This fund is designed for geographically dispersed and intersectional groups, especially those whose voices are often missed by locality-based funding. These are communities whose characteristics may include one or more of the following: 

Energy Redress Scheme - Just Transition Fund

Aims/priorities: The fund, provided by Ofgem Energy Redress Scheme and piloted under the scheme’s Carbon Emissions Reductions priority, aims to build the capacity of the community energy sector and deliver impactful renewable energy projects. It seeks to demonstrate how a just transition to net zero can benefit everyone.

The funding is intended to enable greater community ownership and social benefit from the historic growth in renewable energy over the next few years as the UK transitions to net zero.

Energy Redress Scheme - Carbon Emissions Reduction and Innovation Funds

Aims/priorities: The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund (CERF) supports initiatives principally aimed at reducing the climate change impact associated with energy use, which relate to Ofgem’s regulated areas of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.

The funding is for projects that demonstrate measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy use and accelerate the transition to net zero. Projects must also have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and future energy consumers.

Energy Redress Scheme - Main Fund and Small Project Fund

Aims/priorities: The priorities of the Main and Small Grants schemes are to:

  • Support energy consumers in vulnerable situations.
  • Deliver benefits to the types of consumers that were negatively impacted by the specific issues that triggered the redress payment.

Who can apply? Registered charities in England, Scotland and Wales that are registered with the Energy Redress Scheme and have passed the due diligence process can apply to the open funding rounds.

Small Grants for Village Halls

Aims/priorities: The funding aims to support the modernisation and improvement of village halls, so that they are fit for purpose and can provide activities which seek to achieve one or more of the following outcomes for their communities:

VALOUR Recognised Centres Development Fund

Aims/priorities: The programme aims to achieve equitable coverage across the UK with the VRCs which must be able to provide support to both veterans and the fuller Armed Forces serving community as soon as possible and no later than the end of the second year of three-year funded projects.

The funding is intended for existing organisations or consortiums (a group of organisations coming together to work cohesively to deliver the required programme outcomes) to provide a set of fixed services, including health, housing and employment guidance and support.

National Deaf Children’s Society – Community Grants

Aims/priorities: This fund aims to support projects and activities that help to build communities that unite families of deaf children.

In this funding cycle, focus will be given to supporting deaf children in the early years (aged 0 to 5). Proposed projects can also involve older deaf children, deaf young people, families, and professionals.

Proposed projects should achieve one or more of the following aims:
