REDDITCH voluntary and community groups are invited to bid for up to £7,500 in the second round of the council’s grant funding for 2021.
Anyone interested in applying can bid for funding from £500 up to £7,500, to help with core costs and salaries or to support them to deliver great community events, projects and activities.
A total of £33,000 is available to bid for, with £5,000 specifically ringfenced to create a separate 'Mental Health' funding pot.
From this pot, groups can bid for between £500 and £5,000 to help them deliver specific projects to support residents who have suffered from or have worsened mental health issues as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
