Your project should:

  • be for a new building, refurbishment work or equipment
  • include capital costs of at least £50,000
  • have a shortfall in capital funding of at least £25,000

Your project should also address at least one of the following aims:

  • Increased access to services for new and existing users
  • Improved quality and range of services
  • Improved future sustainability of the organisation

Match funding is required for projects costing more than £50,000.

Applications follow a two-stage process. The deadline for Stage 1 applications is 1 July 2025. Organisations invited to proceed will have until 1 September 2025 to submit a full application.
