Comic Relief Community Fund (England)

The Comic Relief Community Fund (England) is offering grants to grassroots community organisations with an income of less than £250,000.

There are two types of grants available to organisations whose work delivers on one of Comic Relief’s four strategic themes:

• Children Survive & Thrive: projects that support children under the age of 5 to reach their potential and have the best start in life. Please note: as of Friday 2 October we will now be accepting applications for projects that benefit children up to the age of 11.
• Fighting for Gender Justice: projects that improve equality for women, girls and initiatives that help people affected by domestic violence, abuse or exploitation due to their gender.
• A Safe Place to Be: projects that support people who are rebuilding their lives because of homelessness or forced migration.
• Mental Health Matters: projects that support good mental health in communities, improve access to support and tackle stigma and discrimination.

Funding of up to £1,000 is available to organisations based in England to help you develop your organisation through the Capacity Building Grant Fund.

Funding of up to £4,000 is available to organisations that are based in and delivering in Norfolk or Suffolk to deliver projects in response to Covid-19 through the Covid-19 Community Grant (Norfolk & Suffolk) Fund. 

Administration of the local funding is being managed by community charity, Groundwork, which specialises in transforming communities and the local environment for the better.
