Our Community Support Scheme was launched in early 2008 and is designed to help a wide range of groups that do their bit to help local people.

The Scheme invites applications from groups within Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire that are in need of financial assistance to help with their objectives.

Applications for funding are considered by a panel that includes two independent members, usually twice yearly in May and November.

The panel consider applications for assistance in a number of different categories including those that:

• Work in partnership with organisations assisting the disadvantaged
• Promote and encourage sporting activities
• Promote and encourage activities in the arts
• Support education and development
• Benefit the environment

Typical awards are between £100 – £500. If you would like to apply for an award then there is an application form to complete available here.
