Little Hulton and Walkden Community Grant

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. Exceptional circumstances may be considered if you present a business case. The council particularly wants to encourage projects that build community resilience, meet local wellbeing and health needs, or support its Locality Plan, A Vision For A Healthier Salford. Examples include promoting healthy lifestyles, improving the local environment, reducing crime, supporting carers and investing in children and young people.

Groups can apply twice in one calendar year. Applications from individuals are not considered. You must attach invoices and full information. Any money is paid into a bank account that needs at least two signatures from people who are not related and do not live at the same address. Applications will not be considered if receipts or monitoring forms are outstanding.

Some costs are unlikely to be funded. Long-term staff salaries and operational costs are not normally supported, although salaries for one-off activities can be considered. Transport, room hire and utility costs are only considered in exceptional circumstances. Day trips that do not directly benefit the community will not be considered, and nothing is awarded for political or religious purposes. A one-off event can receive a maximum of £500.

Retrospective applications will not be considered unless they relate to an emergency, disaster or unforeseen circumstances.
