The Community Council is keen to support groups delivering services in the CPCC area.
GRANTS:
Any group, society, playgroup, or charitable organisation in the CPCC area, or benefiting residents of the CPCC area, may apply for a grant from the Community Council. If you can show us that the grant will be put to good use, we are only too pleased to help.
Grant applications will be considered on a quarterly basis (April, July, October and January).
Community Start-up grants are available to new groups within their first 12 months of operation and will also be considered quarterly.
APPLICATIONS FOR USE OF CPCC COMMUNITY SPACES:
Would like to start a new activity, deliver a community service or start a community group for local people within the CPCC area, but need a venue? Perhaps you need use of a space to run your sessions, to enable you to gauge interest or to build up the attendance but without the burden of venue hire charges. We might be able to help you!
We have a variety of spaces available for free use by not-for-profit/community groups where the use meets our criteria. To be considered, you will need to complete our Free Use application form. Please contact us to find out more.
Free use is offered on the basis that the organisation uses the space to provide or enable the delivery of a community service/activity which helps to meet the needs of the local population. Applicants must provide details of the benefit/s they will offer to residents of the CPCC area, which includes Willen, Woolstone, Fishermead, Oldbrook, Springfield, Newlands and Winterhill

- Isolation and Loneliness – create an inclusive environment where isolation and loneliness can be sensitively addressed and further support/advice offered.
