Other grants
There are numerous organisations that constituted tenant and resident groups can apply to for extra funds and grants. These funds are particularly useful for groups who would like to expand their activities and address such issues as:
- Environmental improvements
- Facilities for young people
- Play / sports provision
- Purchasing IT equipment
- Crime and safety
We will help groups look for funding - contact the Community Involvement Team with your ideas.
The 'EGRAB' facility on Bury Council's web-site may also be able to help. It offers information and links on funding opportunities.
