Community wealth funds.(there is a survey on this now ) I’ve written to the council leader to consider being more strategic with funding pots. I wrote to the sutherland councillors few years back (nobody listens) There are many different sources of funding out there - but many groups do not have the time/word wizardry/capacity to source the funds. Solution- So we employ a team of funding finders - and they fill out the applications. Each county and village has its priority lists to achieve (bigger picture stuff) Windfarms- lottery - levelling up money - coastal community money - etc etc etc . £millions floating about for sutherland alone . Stop the postcode lottery - word wizards getting the cash … & no accountability - has the content of the application is delivered or not . Or checking are the applications- true & accurate.

By providing targeted grants and long-term support, foundations can help sustain essential services and protect the community spaces we all rely on. Starting a community focused charitable foundation with GivingWorks couldn't be simpler.
