Level 1 funding is ideal for small, one‑off activities - things like a community event, a single session, or covering the cost of materials, equipment or room hire. 

At the end of the project: 

A short summary should be shared with us within 4–6 weeks of the project finishing, including how many people took part or benefitted and the difference the project made. Please include supporting photos and any participant testimonials (if applicable), along with a small budget statement showing how the funding was spent. We will also arrange a visit to take photographs or video at the event, or afterwards, to share on our website and social media.

Level 2 funding is perfect for projects that run over several sessions, short courses, or activities that require additional equipment or resources to expand. It can also cover venue or facilitation costs and is a good fit for initiatives involving more than one community group or neighbourhood.

At the end of the project:

A completion report (provided in the successful application pack) should be sent to us within 6–8 weeks of the project ending. This report covers your activity summary, number of participants, key outcomes and overall impact. Please include supporting photos and any participant testimonials (if applicable), along with a detailed budget statement showing how the funding was spent and copies of selected invoices or receipts. We will also arrange a visit to take photographs or video at the event, or afterwards, to share on our website and social media.

Level 3 is ideal for large programmes or events, significant equipment purchases, or longer‑term venue hire. This level is also suited to projects delivered by well‑established organisations or partnerships aiming to create meaningful, measurable and lasting community impact.

At the end of the project:

A detailed Completion Report (provided in the successful application pack) should be sent to us within 8–10 weeks of the project ending. This report should include a summary of project delivery, evidence of community engagement, and both quantitative and qualitative information about the people involved and the outcomes achieved. Please include supporting photos, participant testimonials (if applicable), and copies of any completed feedback forms. A detailed budget statement showing how the funding was spent, along with copies of invoices or receipts, is also required, including an explanation of any changes made to the original budget plan. We will also arrange a visit to take photographs or video at the event, or afterwards, to share on our website and social media.
