Grant funding plays an important role in enabling local voluntary and community organisations to support local initiatives that help local people.Sterling notes and coins

Very often a (small) grant can provide a huge return for the community, whether by funding events which bring people together, supporting services which meet people at their greatest need, or by enabling groups to buy equipment or resources which build their capacity in a very practical way.

From time to time SCVO is asked to administer local grants on behalf of local, regional or national funders. Examples of these in recent years include Grassroots Grants, Community Champions funding, the Active at 60 programme and the Migration Impact Fund.

SCVO publicise grant opportunities widely, targeting particular types of organisations if necessary, support organisations to submit clear applications and convene local grants panels to assess requests for funding.

This page contains information on grants programmes that SCVO is currently administering.

Current Programmes:

  • SCVO Vision 2030 Community Grants – 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, to support the following priorities:

      • Building Social Connections (tackling loneliness/social isolation)
      • Youth Activities (tackling loneliness/social isolation amongst young people)
      • Healthy Lifestyles (promoting / supporting healthy living)

Please subscribe to our weekly e-bulletin to receive details of future rounds.

PLEASE NOTE: it is an integral part of the application process to discuss your project ideas/proposals with SCVO PRIOR to submission of an application – you can email: grants@scvo.info or call 0121 525 1127. (Once the initial conversation has taken place you will be sent a copy of the application form and guidance notes).
