Bridget’s Magical Music Pot

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £500North West England

Bridget's Magical Music Pot is a small grants fund run by Cumbria Community Foundation. It helps people come together to make music of any kind in West Cumbria, which means the former local authority areas of Allerdale and Copeland. The fund was created by the family of Bridget Hilton, a teacher who spent her life encouraging people to play music for fun. It is funded by donations from her family and friends, and it is open to further donations. The fund can help with a range of practical costs. These include equipment such as music stands, music hire or purchase, and instrument purchase or hire. It can also cover room or venue hire for practice or performance, tuition, tutoring or workshop costs, and travel costs, for example to hear or perform music. Publicity costs to promote performances or attract new members are also covered. It suits charitable, not-for-profit organisations and small unconstituted groups. If your group has no formal constitution, an individual aged 18 or over can apply on its behalf. Grants will normally be up to £500. That makes this fund a good fit for modest, practical costs rather than large projects. All applications are made through the Foundation's online application portal, and the page links to a step-by-step portal help guide. If you have questions about the fund, you can contact Lisa Blackwell on 01900 825760 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org.

Edmond Castle Educational Trust Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £5,000North West England

The Edmond Castle Educational Trust Fund, run by Cumbria Community Foundation, supports the education and training of young people aged 21 and under in Cumbria. It is aimed at cases where a grant would make a significant difference. Both individuals and charitable, not-for-profit organisations can apply. Priority goes to young people who are, or have been, looked after by Cumberland Council or Westmorland & Furness Council. The fund can support activities that build self-confidence and skills, and activities that promote civic engagement and leadership. It can also pay for equipment or course fees, and for projects that give young people new opportunities to train and learn. Examples include fees for a private tutor, travel expenses to sport training, course-related costs for academic study, and projects that develop employment skills. Grants to individuals are normally up to £2,000 over one year. Grants to organisations are normally up to £5,000 over one year, and multiple-year funding may be considered. All applications are made through the Foundation's online application portal. The page links to a step-by-step help guide to walk you through it. If you have questions about the fund, you can contact Tracy Cheesbrough on 01900 825760 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org. One practical point to keep in mind: household income is considered when individual applications are assessed. The amounts are described as normal limits, not fixed caps.

Eden Rural Community Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £3,000North West England

The Eden Rural Community Fund, run by Cumbria Community Foundation, gives grants to organisations that provide a service for residents of Eden District and the surrounding area. The service must support people over the age of 18 who need help and care because of frailty, age, ill health, or a mental or physical disability. The aim is to help them live independently and safely in their own homes. Families and carers can benefit too. Priority goes to projects that support older people, particularly vulnerable and isolated older people. It also goes to projects for adults aged 18 or over with physical disabilities, mental health needs or learning disabilities, and for carers. Community and volunteer-led initiatives that deliver or improve access to services in rural areas are a priority as well. Examples of projects supported include exercise classes for older people, befriending or social activities to reduce isolation, and equipment for a community centre that will also benefit older people. Improvements to community facilities that make them easier for older people to use are also on the list. One-off grants for capital equipment will be considered. The maximum grant will normally be £3,000, and multi-year funding may be considered. The money comes from charitable funds held by Eden Housing Association after Eden Community Alarms was dissolved. One practical point: individuals cannot apply, and the foundation's normal exclusions also apply. All applications are made through the online application portal.

Strummer Calling Community First Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £1,000North West England

The Strummer Calling Community First Fund from Cumbria Community Foundation gives grants to organisations for work that reduces poverty, improves health, tackles social inequality and helps people reach their potential. It also backs projects that nurture a sense of place or promote climate action. The donor is anonymous. Grants will normally be up to £1,000 over one year. That makes the fund a good fit for small, practical projects that you can deliver within that time. The page gives examples such as a community cinema, camping activities for Scout groups, volunteer expenses and room hire for radio broadcast training, and improvements to village halls or community buildings. The fund suits charitable and not-for-profit organisations. Priority will be given to projects in the former local authority areas of Carlisle and Eden, so projects there come first. One thing to keep in mind: individuals cannot apply. The fund also applies the foundation's normal exclusions on top of this. All applications are made through the foundation's online application portal. The foundation offers a step-by-step help guide for the portal. If you would like more information about the fund, you can call Sarah Thompson on 01900 820 821 or email grants@cumbriafoundation.org.

Up to £2,000North West England

The Ullswater Trust Grassroots Fund is run by Cumbria Community Foundation. It gives grants to organisations for local projects in the former local authority area of Eden, particularly in Ullswater and Penrith. It is funded by an anonymous donor.

Examples of projects supported include refurbishing a community centre training room, respite for young carers, a disabled toilet and kitchen unit for a community centre, and playground equipment. Grants will normally be up to £2,000 over one year, so plan your budget around that figure. There are some things the fund will not support.

Beeby Family Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £5,000North West England

The Beeby Family Fund, run by Cumbria Community Foundation, gives grants to organisations that support and improve the lives and opportunities of children and young people. The money comes from the Beeby Family. The fund is aimed mainly at young people living in Wigton and the surrounding areas. Applications from the wider Cumbria area may be considered where there is exceptional need. The fund suits charitable and not-for-profit organisations. It supports groups that encourage personal development, build confidence and teach employability skills in young people.

Priority goes to projects that promote life skills, help young people fulfil their potential and encourage personal development. Grants will normally be up to £5,000 over one year. Multiple-year funding may be considered, so if your work needs longer support, it is worth making that case in your application. A practical point to bear in mind: the fund is focused on Wigton and nearby areas. If your project is based elsewhere in Cumbria, you will need to show exceptional need. All applications are made through the Foundation's online application portal. There is a step-by-step portal help guide to walk you through it. If you would like to talk about the fund first, you can contact Annalee Holliday at the Foundation. Official source: https://www.cumbriafoundation.org/fund/beeby-family-fund/.

B&Q Foundation Home Improvement Grant

B&Q Foundation

Up to £10,000England

The B&Q Foundation Home Improvement Grant helps registered charities across the UK to create or improve homes, so that more people in their communities have a place to feel at home. The funder says it loves working with different types of charities, as long as the project is about improving homes and the places where people live. Projects it has supported include decorating, fixing roofs, refurbishing garden space, upgrading key fixtures and fittings, and creating new buildings or rooms. You can ask for up to £10,000. The foundation offers this amount for both of its grant funds, the Home Improvement grant and the Home-Starter Kit grant. The process has three steps. First, check the grant criteria, guidance and FAQs to make sure your charity and project fit. Second, apply through Neighbourly using the link for the Home Improvement grant. Third, wait for the team to review your application and get in touch. One practical point to plan around: because of the high volume of applications, it may take up to 12 weeks after the deadline to hear the outcome. The page mentions a deadline but does not give a date, so there is no closing date to quote here. Official source: https://bqfoundation.org.uk/apply-for-a-grant/.

The panel would particularly welcome projects that help the local environment or tackle climate change locally. This fund suits groups and organisations working to benefit people in the Moorfoot area. You do not need to be a registered charity, but you must meet Foundation Scotland's standard eligibility criteria. Groups based outside the fund area can apply, but they are considered case by case and must show a clear benefit for residents inside it. There is no closing date. Applications are accepted at any time and usually take 6 to 8 weeks to process, though it can take longer. A local Community Panel makes recommendations on awards.

Kipling Fund for Older People

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £1,000North West England

The Kipling Fund for Older People from Cumbria Community Foundation gives grants to organisations that benefit older people across Cumbria. It supports initiatives that reduce poverty, improve health, tackle social inequality and help people reach their potential. It also backs projects that nurture a sense of place or promote climate action. The fund is open to charitable not-for-profit organisations. The page gives examples of work it has supported. These include social inclusion activities for isolated older people, a local support group for older people affected by heart conditions and strokes, and support groups for people with dementia. Grants will normally be up to £1,000 over one year. Awards are small, so plan a focused project that fits within that amount. The fund began with a legacy gift. George Kipling was born in Westmorland and lived and farmed at Burgh-by-Sands. He cared about his community and rural life, and about the welfare of children and older people. He left £120,000 of his estate to charity. The executors of his will set up two funds at the Foundation, one for children and young people and one for older people throughout Cumbria. One practical point to note: the fund does not support individuals, in addition to the Foundation's normal exclusions. All applications are now made through the Foundation's online application portal, and the page links to a step-by-step help guide. If you have questions about the fund, you can contact Sarah Thompson on 01900 820 821 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org.

Past projects give you a feel for what suits. They include environmental improvements to community spaces, inclusive activities that bring people together, new opportunities for young people in rural areas, sports training equipment, and projects that encourage young people's leadership and entrepreneurship. Grants will normally be up to £3,000 over one year. Each application is considered case by case, and Genesis Homes want to help as many projects as they can. One practical point: the fund does not support individuals, and the foundation's normal exclusions also apply. All applications now go through the foundation's online portal, and there is a step-by-step help guide to walk you through it.

Age Friendly Activities Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

Up to £5,000North West England

The Age Friendly Activities Fund from Cumbria Community Foundation gives small grants to help older people in the former South Lakeland district take part in community life. It backs small-scale projects that make a real difference. These include projects that reduce loneliness and social isolation, encourage physical activity and healthy ageing, bring generations together, and build digital confidence. The fund is part of Age Friendly South Lakeland. Your project needs to benefit people aged 50 and over directly. You can also use the money to remove practical, social or emotional barriers that stop older people joining in. Grants will normally be up to £5,000 over one year. The fund is open to charitable, not-for-profit organisations. Priority goes to small, grassroots and volunteer-led groups, community-led projects with strong local engagement, work that reaches older people in rural, deprived or underserved areas, and proposals with lasting impact or sustainability. One practical caveat: the fund does not pay for existing activities, unless the money is used specifically to remove barriers and help more people attend. It does not support individuals either, and the foundation's normal exclusions also apply. You apply through the foundation's online application portal. A step-by-step help guide is available on the funder's page, and the grants team can answer questions by phone or email.
