Sellafield Ltd Good Neighbour Grants

Sellafield Ltd (Nuclear Decommissioning Authority)

Sellafield Ltd Good Neighbour Grants are small grants of up to £10,000 for local projects near the Sellafield and Warrington sites. The money comes from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, and Sellafield Ltd shares it out on the NDA's behalf. Your project should fit the Sellafield Ltd social impact strategy. Its four themes are resilient economies, thriving communities, sustainable incomes and sustainable growth. You will need to show the local need or opportunity your project tackles, the local support behind it, and the outcomes you expect. The grants suit charities and community groups, but other local organisations can apply too. These include state funded schools and pre-school groups, public sector bodies and companies, as long as the grant does not subsidise a business. Projects must be in Copeland, Allerdale or Warrington. In Copeland and Allerdale you can ask for up to £10,000. In Warrington the maximum is £5,000. The Good Neighbour panel decides on requests up to £5,000. The Social Impact team considers requests between £5,000 and £10,000. You can apply at any time. Requests are only considered when the committee meets. Small grants do not need a full business case, but you will need to give proof of spend and outcomes and send an end of project report. One practical caveat: the list of things it will not fund is long. It includes sports team sponsorship, animal welfare, religious or political benefit, retrospective projects and repeat requests in the same financial year. Building renovations and general improvements to sports facilities are not usually funded either. Read the exclusions carefully before you apply.
