Rushcliffe Borough Council are offering grants between £500 and £5,000 to support community wellbeing projects that are helping to tackle cost of living pressures, loneliness and isolation in the Borough.

The Rushcliffe Community Wellbeing Fund is supported by Shared Prosperity Funding from the UK Government (UKSPF). The fund is open to town and parish councils, local groups, and community organisations. Funding is to help them deliver vital projects that focus on impactful volunteering, social action and positive engagement.
Funding can be for sustaining or expanding projects that take innovative approaches to addressing social issues and help improve inclusivity and the health and wellbeing of local residents.

Projects could include new or expanded volunteering initiatives, practical activity outdoors or indoors, sport, green space enhancements, arts, heritage, cultural, community and befriending activities, preparing and sharing food. Projects could also provide support that reduces people’s cost of living, including through energy-saving measures.

Funding must be spent within one year and the project must be completed with a findings report before the end of March 2026. The project or group should become self-sustaining after that time or seek another source of funding.
