COM25090 Worcestershire Match Funding Programme

The Strengthening Worcestershire Fund was successfully rolled out in 2024, with £187,000 raised and 31 vital local projects funded. In total there were 57 applications totalling £337,000, demonstrating the huge demand for this type of funding for project/core costs.

For this year, the Council has a further £100k available that they wish to invest in supporting local communities through small grants to community groups/charities through a continuing partnership with Worcestershire Community Foundation (WCF), who will fundraise an agreed level of match and manage the logistics of the end-to-end programme.
