Dudley Borough Voluntary Sector New Beginnings Funding Programme 2026 – Round Two

Newcomers from other countries to the UK are often the most vulnerable members of society and often face discrimination, substandard living, housing and working conditions and inadequate or restricted access to mainstream health services.

£175,000 is available for voluntary organisations and community groups, who operate in Dudley borough, to provide a range of activities in the community and safe spaces for newcomers to meet, make connections and promote inclusion, community cohesion, education and health.

Grants between £1000 and £30,000 for each project proposal will be considered.

Projects can be delivered up to a maximum of 12 months or for shorter periods of time to pilot new ideas e.g. a few weeks to a few months.

How to apply: Round two applications must be returned to Dudley CVS by 12-noon Friday 18th September to kategreen@dudleycvs.org.uk
