Local Community Organisations and Charities - up to £5,000

These are groups that are either a constituted group run by a committee, or registered charities, community interest companies, or social enterprises. They may have some professional leaders.

Groups can apply for grants of up to £5,000. They need to have clear plans showing why the project/activity is needed and how their proposal will help the people in the SJSBL area. This funding can be used for different things, like buying things or supporting the organization, as long as it meets the criteria set by St James Street Big Local and will be delivered by September 2025.
