Do you deliver activities in a ForHousing neighbourhood? You could be eligible for a Community Fund grant of up to £500!
The ForHousing Community Fund supports activities, in areas where we own and manage homes, which create the best possible environment for people and communities to thrive and fulfil their potential.
If you are part of a local community group, school, charity or similar organisation and have an idea or a project which will benefit the tenants and residents of ForHousing neighbourhoods then why not apply to the Community Fund to support your project?
