Who is eligible to apply for a grant?
This grant programme is open to locally managed voluntary, community and faith groups within Blackburn with Darwen that are looking to make a positive difference within the Borough. The fund is financially supported by the Office of the Third Sector and the Blackburn with Darwen Local Strategic Partnership.
If your group is linked to a national organisation, you can apply if you are a local group or branch as long as the beneficiaries are from Blackburn with Darwen. Your group must be independent, have a local management committee, have a governing document and your own bank account.
What type of projects we will fund?

You will need to explain in Question 11 of the grant application form which of these categories you will be addressing and what funding from this programme will help you achieve this.
