Vision 2030 Community Micro Grants open for applications. (SCVO)
Vision 2030 sets out the ambitions towards making Sandwell (in 2030) a thriving, optimistic and resilient community. Central to this vision is the message of closer partnership working between all sectors and communities across the borough.
The aspiration is for Sandwell (now and in the future) to be where we call home and where we’re proud to belong – where we choose to bring up our families, where we feel safe and cared for, enjoying good health, rewarding work, feeling connected and valued in our neighbourhoods and communities, confident in the future, and benefiting fully from a revitalised West Midlands.
SCVO is delivering this micro grant programme, on behalf of and in partnership with Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, to enable voluntary and community groups to deliver activities in Sandwell, and to Sandwell residents, to support the following priorities:
Building social connections
Tackling loneliness and isolation
Healthy lifestyles
£500 micro grant to support either a single event/activity or a series of sessions delivered in Sandwell that brings local people together, tackles loneliness and isolation and/or supports healthy lifestyles.
Activities or sessions must take place between March 1st – July 31st 2026 with completed evaluations returned to SCVO by 31st August 2026
