2nd November 2022Community Grants Fund
National Neighbourhood Watch Network have released another round of their Community Grants fund. They are wanting to help local community groups kickstart, improve or expand the work that groups do within their communities!
Fund details
- Autumn round 2022 (opens Monday 24 October and closes 30 November 2022)
During the previous funding round, 100% of available funds went towards activities or one-off development projects that help groups or associations promote and support Neighbourhood Watch’s 40th Anniversary. The size of grants for the Spring 2022 round ranged between £100 – £500. Groups could only hold one grant at a time and could only hold one grant in each financial year.
Groups are defined as: schemes, areas, districts or associations, e.g. several schemes can hold grants within an association, and that association can also hold its own grant, but all projects or applications must be clearly defined and separate from each other.
Who they fund
NNHWN grants are only for registered Neighbourhood Watch members who are representatives of a registered and recognised Neighbourhood Watch scheme, group, Area or Association in England and Wales. Registered and recognised means: any Association who has signed the MoU; or any area that has signed an area (non-voting) MoU; or any scheme that is registered either on Alert or is formally registered with an Association as previous. If you are unsure whether you fit within these categories, please contact them at enquiries@ourwatch.org.uk or call on 0116 402 6111.
Lead applicants must be a Coordinator or similar volunteer role (Treasurer, Deputy, Area Lead, etc.) If you are not currently registered in this way and would like to find out how to contact us at enquiries@ourwatch.org.uk.
They only fund work or activities that are clearly defined as that of Neighbourhood Watch and that aligns with the charitable purposes within our constitution and with our values.
