Community groups are being invited to apply for grants that enable people to take part in community activities.

The Lancaster District Local Strategic Partnership (LDLSP) makes Community Grants of between £250 and £2,000 to voluntary, community and faith groups within the Lancaster District boundary.

The deadline for the next round of grants is 16h July 2010, and projects must be undertaken before March 21st 2011.

Projects which meet one or more of the LSP’s ‘Valuing People’ priorities are welcome to apply. The priorities include improving a sense of belonging in a community, increasing the capacity of the sector, enabling older people to contribute to life in the district, and increasing the number of carers receiving guidance and support.
