Community Choice is open to charities and CICs that:

  • Improve health and wellbeing in England, Scotland or Wales

  • Have an annual income of £300,000 or less

  • Have been running for two years or more

  • Have a bank account in the organisation’s name

This opportunity is aimed at smaller organisations that are making a difference in their communities and could benefit from a flexible grant to support their work.
