Tenant Together Fund
Wigan Council
Wigan Council's Tenant Together Fund gives up to £2,000 to local constituted community groups, tenant and resident associations and individual community champions for projects that benefit neighbourhoods in eligible areas of the Wigan borough. Groups can apply up to 3 times per year, from 1 April to 31 March. The funder gives no closing date. A tenant led funding panel decides. Projects must meet at least one of four themes: safe and resilient communities, better places and spaces, volunteering, training and digital skills, or more Tenant Voice. The council lists room hire, training courses, community events and fun days, equipment, promotion material, refreshments up to £5 per person and reasonable transport costs as eligible. It will not fund trips, staff costs, alcohol, gifts or projects that have already taken place. Match funding is desirable but not mandatory. Speak to a Tenant Voice officer before applying.

Brighter Borough Fund
Wigan Council
Wigan Council runs the Brighter Borough Fund, which lets councillors propose and support community and voluntary projects that improve the environment or benefit the community in their wards across Wigan Borough. The funder gives no award range and no closing date. Examples the council lists include contributions to community events, improvements to community facilities, school initiatives outside the national curriculum, festive celebrations and improvements to open spaces and local parks. Groups must be based in Wigan Borough or show benefits to it. They must run on a voluntary or non-profit basis and hold a bank account in the group's name with two unrelated signatories. Applications start with a local councillor, who sends the online form link if they back the project. Payment is by BACS within 7-10 working days of final approval. The money covers specific projects, not annual running costs, and cannot repay costs already incurred.
