Gateshead Fund - Voluntary/Community Funding for 2011/12
Gateshead Council’s Gateshead Fund will support and build capacity in the voluntary and community sector as well as supporting grassroots community groups.
The Fund has two elements:
Local Community Fund which can be accessed through ward councillors and is for local issues with the aim of actively promoting community engagement and development.
Gateshead Capacity Building Fund, for organisations to expand their activities and build their capacity so they can diversify their income and become more sustainable.
We are currently carrying out a public consultation on our 2012 – 2014 budget proposals. This consultation ends in January 2012. The Council’s budget will be agreed on 1st March 2012. Until then funding from the Gateshead Fund (Capacity Building Fund) will not be available.
We will update the webpage with more information when available after March 2012.
