Community Fund

Community Gateway provide support and investment to local communities through our Community Fund.

Both constituted and non-constituted groups can apply for our Community Fund, which aims to support creating safer and greener communities 🗑️🌳

In the past 12-months, we've awarded £19,000 to support 22 projects across Preston to help Community Gateway tenants and the communities they live in.

How much can I apply for?

Constituted groups can apply for up to £2500 per project and non-constituted groups up to £500 to support the delivery of activities that create a positive impact on the local community.

What projects will you fund?

• Safer Communities - projects that aim to work in partnership to address local issues, such as anti-social behaviour, resulting in safer communities.
• Greener Communities - projects that aim to improve the local environment, resulting in cleaner, greener communities.

I am not part of a group but have a great idea for my local community, can I apply?
