UK Government (The) Community Ownership Fund (UK) – Deadline: 11th October 2023
Communities across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are being invited to apply for funding to
save important community assets. The funding is being made available through the Community Ownership Fund.
This is a £150 million initiative from the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and is designed to help community groups take ownership of assets that are at risk of being lost, such as pubs, community halls, gardens, and sports clubs. The maximum grant available per project is £2 million although it is expected that most awards will be for up to £250,000 of capital funding. Applicants will need to provide at least 20% of match funding.
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be incorporated voluntary and community organisations, or parish, town, and community councils. They must also have a clear plan for how they will use the money to save the asset.
