Is your group being hit by the recession?  Apply now for up to £1,000 to help you weather the storm. 

“More people need our service and we are struggling to cope with demand”

Would £1,000 help?

‘Ready, Responding & Resilient Grants’ for the community and voluntary sector in Brighton & Hove are being managed by the ChangeUp consortium. The funding is being provided by Brighton & Hove City Council to help support the community and voluntary sector to manage the impacts of the recession.

Your group can apply for up to £1,000 to pay for support services to help you manage.  The support will come from local organisations who understand your needs.

You might want practical services like printing or to hire equipment. Or you might find one to one advice or training helpful.  The funding will be given on a ‘first come-first served’ basis to groups operating within Brighton & Hove.

Are we eligible?

  • You must operate within Brighton & Hove
  • You must be a not-for-profit organisation with a turnover of less than £200,000 per year.
  • You must explain how the recession is affecting your group

Be local: Buy local

  • You will be expected to buy services locally with this money where possible
  • We will tell you about free services if we know of them!

It’s not worth the hassle for a small amount of money!

There is no hassle because the application is only one side of A4. Feedback is one side of A4 plus copy(ies) of relevant invoices. Please use this funding - if it’s too complicated or hard, do tell us and we’ll change!

If you have any questions please contact Emma Daniel, Project Manager on 01273 810230 or email emma@cvsectorforum.org.uk
