Covering the Calderdale ward of Sowerby Bridge.
What is the fund for?
The fund is to prevent and tackle loneliness in Sowerby Bridge and we are specifically looking to fund the following:
- General health and wellbeing which can be things like walking groups, diabetes support groups.
- Increasing knowledge about activities in the area
- Growth around volunteer support and volunteering involvement
- Activities that engage men
- Activities that increase community cohesion and increase participation from all communities e.g black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
Where has the money come from?
The Sowerby Bridge Fund includes funding from Community Foundation for Calderdale. Read more about the fund here.
How much can I apply for?
We haven’t set a limit on what you can apply for but that’s not say it’s a bottomless pot!
If you’ve got an idea for something that meets our priorities for Sowerby Bridge, give us call to discuss. Even if we’re not able to fund all your project we might be able to help in other ways.
