In line with SCVO’s on-going delivery of the Vision 2030 Community Grants programme, we are very pleased to announce that we’re accepting applications for the next round of awards under the themes of:

  • Main Grants:

    • Healthy Lives (promoting/ supporting healthy living – including physical activity and good mental health).
  • King’s Coronation:
    • Micro grants of £500 for activities that celebrate the King’s Coronation.

You can find out more detail about BOTH themes by visiting: SCVO – Local Grants and looking for the relevant sets of Guidance Notes.

Background

Vision 2030 sets out the ambitions towards making Sandwell (in 2030) a thriving, optimistic and resilient community. Central to this vision is the message of closer partnership working between all sectors and communities across the borough. The aspiration is for Sandwell (now and in the future) to be where we call home and where we’re proud to belong – where we choose to bring up our families, where we feel safe and cared for, enjoying good health, rewarding work, feeling connected and valued in our neighbourhoods and communities, confident in the future, and benefiting fully from a revitalised West Midlands.

SCVO is delivering this grant programme, on behalf of and in partnership with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, to enable voluntary and community groups to deliver activities in Sandwell, and to Sandwell residents.
