Funding Opportunities
Cost of Living Fund
The Cost of Living Fund is a community grant program led by Social Enterprise Kent and funded through the East Kent Health Care Partnership, NHS Health Inequalities fund. The program enables grassroots organizations and groups to apply for up to £5,000 to fund new activities or extend current activities that tackle issues related to healthy eating. The fund specifically addresses food poverty and diet-related challenges by supporting local, community-based organizations to run projects that tackle food and diet issues in communities across east Kent. Lack of access, knowledge and skills around healthy eating and cooking has significant impact on people's physical and mental health, including detrimental effects on the growth and development of young people. The fund is particularly interested in supporting projects that tackle specific health issues linked with poor diet, such as diabetes or hypertension in particular communities. Strong applications should demonstrate community need, show support from local people, and avoid duplication of existing activities unless there is a strong reason to do so.
Community Grant Scheme
The Community Grant Scheme is an opportunity for voluntary and community sector organisations to apply for a grant to run projects to support Dover district residents. This grant scheme supports community organisations and groups based within the Dover District, or seeking grants for activities that will benefit a community within the Dover District.
