North Local Area Committee launch two new funds to support community organisations

The North Local Area Committee (LAC) has launched two new funds, open to community organisations delivering work in the North of Sheffield; The Greatest Need Fund and The Big Idea Fund.

The Greatest Need Fund is aimed at projects that can demonstrate a clear, existing need that they are meeting.

The Big Idea Fund is aimed to supporting new ideas about how to address the North LAC’s priorities around building vibrant community life, clean and attractive local environments and safe roads and effective transport links.

Both funds contain £25,000 and are open to bids of up to £5,000 – applicants can apply to both funds.

To discuss any queries around project ideas, please contact northlac@sheffield.gov.uk to arrange a conversation.

Application forms and guidance forms for both funds can be found below:
