Community Investment Fund

Our Locality Partnerships have been considering how they might best address local priorities using the Community Investment Fund.

If you have an idea and you think it meets the criteria for the fund please get in touch with the relevant Locality Officer (contact us for their details). They will work with you to develop this idea in conjunction with the Locality Partnership.  If the Partnership supports a bid then the group will be encouraged to submit a full application form, which they will decide upon before making a proposal to Cabinet for final approval. An overview of the process is available here: Community Investment Fund Development Process.
