Salford Community Committee Grants - Area Funding Guide
Salford City Council
Salford's community committees give small grants to local groups for projects that improve wellbeing and health. Each of the city's areas has its own budget group and its own local rules, so it pays to read the section for your area. Any application that improves wellbeing and health outcomes for local people will be considered. You will need to show evidence of at least 25% match funding, or match funding in kind. Exceptional circumstances may be considered if you present a business case. The council particularly encourages projects that build community resilience, meet local wellbeing and health needs, or support its Locality Plan, A Vision For A Healthier Salford. Award sizes vary by area. In East Salford, grants are usually up to £3,000, and requests up to £500 are considered by email as quickly as possible. Eccles offers start-up grants of up to £150 for new groups and up to £550 for festival committees. Little Hulton and Walkden caps a one-off event at £500. The page gives no overall award range for the other areas. In the main, room hire and food are not supported, though exceptional circumstances may be considered. Several areas also will not fund permanent staff salaries or spending you incurred before you applied. There is no single deadline on the page. Worsley and Boothstown's budget group meets every two months, and applications must reach it on the correct form 21 days before the meeting. One practical point: successful applicants may be asked to come to a community committee meeting to tell residents how the money was spent.

Ordsall, Quays, Pendleton and Charlestown Community Grant
Salford City Council
Salford City Council runs a community grant for the Ordsall, Quays, Pendleton and Charlestown area, decided by the local Budget Group. It supports projects that improve wellbeing and health outcomes for local people. The Budget Group has five priorities: children and young people, crime and disorder, environmental improvements, older people, and community cohesion and social inclusion. Applications that address one or more of these are looked on particularly favourably. Any application that provides community benefit will still be considered. The council also wants to see activity that builds community resilience, meets local wellbeing and health needs, or supports its Locality Plan, A Vision For A Healthier Salford. You will need to show evidence of at least 25% match funding, or match funding in kind. Exceptional circumstances may be considered if you present a business case. The council can point you towards advice on fundraising and crowdfunding. Priority goes to local applications that benefit residents of Ordsall, Quays, Pendleton or Charlestown. City-wide applications are considered if you can show benefit to local residents. The page does not state grant amounts or a closing date. One practical point to plan for: the Budget Group does not usually fund room hire, refreshments, permanent staff salaries, trips or outings, or anything you spend before you apply. If your project involves youth activities, you must attend a Youth Partnership meeting.

Claremont, Weaste and Seedley Community Grant
Salford City Council
This community grant from Salford City Council is run by the Claremont, Weaste and Seedley Budget Group. It supports activity that benefits local people. Any application that delivers better wellbeing and health outcomes for the local population will be considered. The group has five priorities: children and young people, crime and disorder, environmental improvements, older people, and community cohesion and social inclusion. Applications that address one or more of these are looked on particularly favourably. All applications that provide community benefit will still be considered. You will need to show evidence of at least 25% match funding, or match funding in kind, for the activity or project. Exceptional circumstances may be considered if you present a business case. The council also points to ways of raising match funding, including crowdfunding, and offers advice on this. The group does not normally fund room hire, refreshments, salaries for permanent staff, spending already incurred before you apply, 121 services or treatments, trips or outings, or religious or political purposes. Exceptions are only made in exceptional circumstances. Local applications that benefit residents of Claremont, Weaste or Seedley get priority. City-wide applications can be considered if you can show benefit to local residents. A practical point to plan for: applications about youth activities are reviewed by the Central Locality Youth Partnership, and you will be required to attend one of its meetings. Successful applicants may also be asked to feed back to residents at a community committee meeting, in person or online.

East Salford Community Grant
Salford City Council
Salford City Council's East Salford Community Grant pays not-for-profit organisations usually up to £3,000 for projects that improve wellbeing and health in Kersal and Broughton Park, Broughton, or Blackfriars and Trinity. Larger requests can be considered where local need justifies them. No deadline is listed. Ask the Grants Team about meeting dates and budget before applying. Applicants must show at least 25% match funding, in cash or in kind, unless they make a business case for exceptional circumstances. Examples the council lists include stopping smoking and other healthy lifestyle work, supporting carers, and reducing crime and fear of crime. Room hire and food are generally not funded. Core running costs are excluded, and so are individual client or patient services. Retrospective applications are only considered for emergencies, disasters or unforeseen circumstances. Use the council's application form and contact the Grants Team on 0161 603 6854.
Eccles Community Committee Grant
Salford City Council
The Eccles Community Committee Grant is a small community grant from Salford City Council. It supports projects that clearly benefit people living in the Eccles, Winton and Barton wards. Any application can be considered if your group meets the public health criteria. In practice, your project should improve wellbeing and health outcomes for local people. The council also encourages activity that builds community resilience, meets local wellbeing and health needs, or supports its Locality Plan, A Vision For A Healthier Salford. The page sets out several amounts. New community groups can apply for a start-up grant of up to £150. Festival committees in Eccles, Winton and Barton can receive up to £550. Festivals outside the area can receive up to £100, unless there is a clear evidence-based case for more. Lunch clubs receive a standard award of £55. Room hire and running costs are funded up to £150 in a group's first year of operation only. You will need to show at least 25% match funding, or match funding in kind, for your project. Exceptional circumstances may be considered if you present a business case. The committee will not recommend day trips, extra CCTV, complementary therapies or Christmas parties. It would also rather groups reward their own volunteers than apply for volunteer costs. In the main, room hire and food are not supported. One practical point: it is a condition of grants that you support festivals within Eccles, Winton or Barton whenever possible, for example by a display or hosting a competition. Retrospective applications need a written statement explaining why you could not apply on time.

Little Hulton and Walkden Community Grant
Salford City Council
This Salford City Council grant supports community activity in Little Hulton and Walkden. The council will consider any application that improves wellbeing and health outcomes for local people. Decisions are made by a local budget group. You will need to show evidence of at least 25% match funding, or match funding in kind, for the activity you want funded.
