How grant applications work

More on community grants

So, you’re ready to find out a bit more about our community grants! Great news! We’ll walk you through the process on this page, answer some FAQs and there’s a link to the application form too.

In short, our grants will be for Yorkshire Housing customers, local charities and community groups wanting to make positive things happen in their community!

Your project or activity should:

  • Be locally-led and based in Yorkshire
  • Benefit the local community
  • Involve or be accessible to Yorkshire Housing customers (If you’re not sure about this one, drop us an email with your potential delivery area/ postcode and we’ll be happy to help you)

We’re really looking for projects or activities that’ll benefit Yorkshire Housing customers, but we’ll also consider other projects if they have economic, social or environmental benefits. That might be projects like digital skills sessions, social groups, community food projects, support groups or sustainable community gardens.

FAQs

Promoting your event or activity

If you need any help or support around promoting your activity either with Yorkshire Housing customers or to the wider community, we can help you with this too.

After you’re awarded the grant, one of our community independence officers will get in touch. They’ll be your main contact throughout the grant period, and if you need any other support, they’ll be able to help or can point you in the right direction.

Sharing the difference it’s made

As part of your grant, we’ll ask you to complete a short ‘end of grant’ evaluation. The questions are all set out for you and ask things like what you spent and what difference it’s made to your organisation and local community.

We’d love to shout about the positive changes your project or activity has made and share that on with our colleagues and on our website or social media channels. We’ll ask your permission of course before we do this.

You’ll need to complete the evaluation within four weeks of the activity finishing or of the money being spent. If you need any help, your community independence officer will be happy to support.

Just so you know, if you don’t complete it, you won’t be able to apply for any more funding from us at Yorkshire Housing.
