Near Neighbours

The Near Neighbours fund provides grants to charitable organisations working in specific geographic areas to support community development and improvement initiatives. The fund focuses on five main objectives: securing a strong economic recovery, protecting the most disadvantaged, making a child-friendly town or village, becoming greener and more sustainable, and building strong and empowered communities. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year with quarterly deadlines. Following an Expression of Interest submission, organisations that closely align with fund priorities will be invited to submit full applications, which are then reviewed by a community panel of local residents who understand local needs.
