The Neighbourhood Keepers programme

Read about this community initiative, developed by working groups in the context of the Church Street regeneration.

How we can help

We will support:

  • project activities
  • competitively priced equipment and materials relating to the activity being delivered up to £150 (if you expect your equipment or material costs to be more than this amount please speak to a member of the Neighbourhood Keepers Team before submitting your application, we can’t guarantee equipment costs over £150 will be funded)
  • insurance and DBS certificate costs
  • staff costs for administration, management, planning and delivery of the project
  • venue hire
  • licensing, event notices and road closure costs (it will strengthen your application to have relevant permissions in place when you apply, but it isn't required)
  • publicity and marketing costs
  • costs for training volunteers and volunteer expenses, for example lunch expenses
  • costs to make the activity more accessible to participants
  • COVID-19 related hygiene costs, for example hand sanitizer and masks

Equipment may be purchased on condition that it is used by the beneficiaries. It will remain with the beneficiary group or organisation once the project has ended, for its continuous use by said groups. This must be agreed with the fund manager prior to purchase and a valid original receipt of purchase will be required.
