Small grants up to £500
Do you have an idea that can make a difference to our area? Our Small Grants are available to local individuals, groups, organisations, schools and businesses who want to make Knowle West:
- A safer, friendlier place
- A greener, cleaner place
- A healthier, active place
- A creative place
Knowle West Alliance offers Small Grants for projects that benefit the local community. Our Grants Panel (made up of local residents and workers) decide which projects are funded.
We aim to offer grants regularly, however this is dependent on funding. Our panel meet within a week of the closing date for small grants applications. They make a decision and we aim to award grants as soon as we can after the decision is make (usually 1 or 2 weeks).
*** Please do not start work on your project until your grant application has been agreed. We cannot fund work already done ***
