Find out more about the new Inclusive Communities Fund

Our colleagues at Sandwell Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) have teamed up with The Heart of England Community Foundation to run an online information session on the new Inclusive Communities Fund. It is due to take place on Thursday 30th November 2023, 10 am till 11am via a Zoom Conference Call and will provide you with all the information you need to get started on an application.

£9m will be available to local community groups, charities and not for profit organisations. Grants of between £500 and £300k are available to provide a special one-off boost for our region.

The Fund is intended to support our communities with their wellbeing, bring more sport and cultural opportunities, address inequalities and  maintain feelings of civic pride and connection to place.

The Inclusive Communities Fund is being delivered by the West Midlands Combined Authority in partnership with the Heart of England Community Foundation and United By 2022, the Official Commonwealth Games Legacy Charity.

A maximum of 40 places are available for this online session. All places must be booked through TicketTailor by clicking here. Please note, an email invitation to join the online session will be sent out by SCVO in advance and prior to its commencement.

If you are having trouble booking onto the session, please email Libby, their Small Groups Development Officer, at libby@scvo.info with your details and she’ll book you onto the session.
