Applications open for RBH community funding

Volunteers at Q Gardens, which has benefited from Members' Community Funding in the past

Applications are now open for the 2018/19 RBH Members’ Community Grants and Decide Together Funding.

The Members’ Community Fund invites community groups and organisations to submit funding applications for activities that have a direct impact on RBH neighbourhoods.

To be eligible, all applications must be supported by one or more RBH’s 5,500 tenant or employee members.

Grant applications this year are asked to focus on priorities that link with the new RBH Corporate Strategy, Together. These are; employment and skills, digital inclusion, health and wellbeing, and mutuality across neighbourhoods.

With grants can ranging from £250 to £5000, this is a great opportunity for people living and working in RBH neighbourhoods to make a real difference to their communities.

Members' Community Fund applications will be assessed by a panel of tenant and employees before funding is allocated.

‘Decide Together’ offers funding to any RBH tenant or employee member, community group or organisation that has an idea for an activity or project which addresses a priority for action within a ‘Neighbourhoods Together’ area. This year 17 neighbourhoods are eligible for funding.

The closing date for applications is Monday 23 April 2018 at 12 noon.
