Start up Grants
Start-up grants aim to support the start up costs of new groups, where the objectives of the group are directed towards long term action rather than the completion of a "one-off" project.
The Start-up grant helps with the costs involved with establishing new voluntary or community groups. These may include the hiring of venues, facilities and equipment, purchase of small items of equipment and hand tools, protective clothing, publicity and printing costs, training, insurance and affiliation.
