Overview

Berwickshire Neighbourhood Support Fund The Berwickshire Neighbourhood Support Fund for 2022-23 is now open with £100,657.21 available for local community projects. The fund provides support and assistance with the development of community based projects for voluntary and community groups that are active in their local area.

Groups who would like to take forward projects that will be of benefit to the local community can apply for grants up to the value of £5k. Funding can be used for a variety of purposes such as:

  • the purchase of equipment
  • salary costs
  • small capital works
  • hire and running costs
  • maintenance costs
  • capacity building projects

Applications will be evaluated by an assessment panel who will then make their recommendations to the Berwickshire Area Partnership at meetings throughout the 2022-23 financial year.

Eligibility

You should also have the following documents (constitutions, rules, bank statements and annual accounts must all be in the same name as the name of the applicant group/organisation given on page one of the application):

Applications are welcome from groups working in partnership but one group must be identified as the lead applicant.

We recommend that you should check other possible funding sources before applying, such as the National Lottery Community Fund. Recognition will be made to groups that have match funding in place or can demonstrate that they have attempted to secure funding from elsewhere.

Applications need to be submitted well in advance of project start dates as no retrospective funding is given.
