Selwood Housing’s Stronger Communities Fund

Selwood Housing’s Stronger Communities Fund is a grant scheme aimed at improving the lives of our customers and the communities where they live.

The grant funding can be used to cover the whole cost of a project, or as a contribution towards a larger cost. They generally distribute small grants but will consider applications requesting a maximum of £2000.

Applications must be for projects that can evidence a benefit to Selwood’s customers or a community initiative in one of their neighbourhoods.

To be considered for funding, your project must also deliver at least one of the following benefits for Selwood Housing customers:

• To provide relief, support or essential goods for those in need due to poverty.
• To promote tolerance, understanding and respect between diverse groups within our communities.
• To involve more people in local decision-making.
• To involve more people in the life of their community, promoting social inclusion and breaking down barriers.
• To help people to learn new skills or improve existing ones, thereby fostering self-reliance, confidence, and independence.
• To improve the appearance of the local area and/or make it a better place to live in.
