Arts Council England - Cultural Development Fund (CDF)

Aims/priorities: The aim of the Cultural Development Fund is to level up through investment in culture across England. The fund will unlock local growth and productivity, increase access to excellent creativity and culture, and regenerate communities. It will achieve this through capital investment in transformative place-based creative and cultural initiatives.

Through implementing creative and cultural initiatives, Round Four of the programme will support places to achieve the following outcomes: 

LGBT Armed Forces Community Memorial Grant

Aims/priorities: The funding is intended to support the primary aim of this project which is to deliver recommendations 17-19 of the LGBT Veterans’ Independent Review.

The memorial should reflect the views of the LGBT serving and veteran community, which should be collected as part of the project, with efforts made to engage harder to reach cohorts.  

The project should be delivered by March 2025, culminating in the erection of the memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum.

Greater Manchester Community Grants Strand 2 applications now open!

Aims/priorities: The aim of this strand is to progress people into employment and is very much linked to wider UKSPF People & Skills activity, as well as wider work & skills activity e.g. Working Well.

This helps with re-engagement and engagement activity for residents who would benefit from these programmes but can’t access them at the moment. This could be linked to a range of barriers our residents are facing.

Who can apply? Local VCSE organisations and Housing Associations

Grant amount: Up to £100k

GM Walking Festival 2024

Aims/priorities: The month-long programme of activities is organised and shaped by local people and organisations to spread the joy of walking and connect people to each other and local places.

Anyone can join in or host a walk. In 2023, we had over 300 walks submitted by organisations, groups, and individuals, collectively providing a major boost to people’s physical and mental health and wellbeing.
