Market Harborough Building Society Community Fund

In its second year, the Market Harborough Building Society Community Fund is committed to making a positive difference in the communities they serve. The fund aims to empower local initiatives, support grassroots projects and foster a spirit of togetherness. Through the Community Fund, the Market Harborough Building Society aims to tackle the challenges faced by the community head-on and create lasting change where it matters most. The main need the fund will support is Poverty and Disadvantage, which includes food and fuel poverty, housing/homelessness, debt relief and financial resilience, antisocial behaviour/crime/gangs, rural issues/transport, abuse/violence/exploitation, and ex-offenders/at risk of offending. Priority will be given to proposals addressing food and fuel poverty, housing and homelessness, and debt relief and financial resilience. The fund is available for community projects and local charities which support individuals experiencing poverty and disadvantage in the Market Harborough Building Society trading area, with priority given to applicants working in Market Harborough, Kibworth, Kettering, Desborough or Rothwell.
