Stronger Communities Fund criteria and guidance

Find out about the Stronger Communities Fund including who can apply, what funding is available, who to and how to apply.

Who can apply

Registered charities, constituted voluntary, community and faith organisations, not-for-profit, community interest companies, companies limited by guarantee, community benefit societies, charitable incorporated organisations, and community amateur sports clubs who have been operating for at least 12 months and have a good track record of delivery.

The Council is also keen to support newly established organisations which can demonstrate that they have strong governance structures in place.

Organisations can apply for one allocation of up to a maximum of £2,000.  This level of grant is intended for new organisations or new project ideas which require a small allocation of “seed” funding to allow ideas to be tested.

Organisations can also apply for one allocation of up to a maximum of £10,000.  This level of grant is intended for established organisations wishing to sustain activity by expanding and or extending current activity.

Organisations whose headquarters are not located in Knowsley can still apply, provided they can demonstrate a strong history of delivering activity within Knowsley during the last twelve months.
