Northumberland County Council are pleased to announce that
the Community Chest Scheme for 2023-24 is now open.
The aim of the Community Chest Scheme is to support community groups and organisations to deliver activities which contribute to achieving the Council’s ambition for Northumberland. This includes Help For You which aims to help young people under 18 to achieve an ambition (see below).
The Community Chest Scheme will support one-off initiatives that are:
- Seen as valuable to the area
- Are not able to secure mainstream funding from the council or other sources
They do this by giving one-off grants of up to £5,000, but not exceeding 75% of the actual costs, i.e. you will need to find at least 25% from your own or other sources. You are advised to read the guidelines carefully before applying.
For more information, please contact: communitychest@northumberland.gov.uk
To help the council decide between different applications, there are higher and lower priorities for the scheme.
Higher priority will be given to:
- Projects submitted by small community groups, defined as having an income of less than £10,000 per year and no paid staff
- Initiatives that will help community groups to become sustainable in the longer term
- Groups who have not received a grant from the community chest in the past
Lower priority will be given to groups who have received a community chest grant in the past two years and those that apply for projects similar to previous years.
If your group or organisation does not meet the priorities, then an application can still be made but is less likely to be successful.
Although local councils cannot apply, constituted community groups, charities, school PTAs, and social enterprises in your parish can. These groups are encouraged to apply. The Round 1 deadline is 2 June. The Rounds 2 and 3 deadlines are 29 September and 12 January, respectively. Forms and guidance are available at https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Councillors/Community-Chest.aspx
