Birmingham City Council has announced £0.8m new funding for community grants to support children and families.

Birmingham has flourishing voluntary, community and faith sectors which have stepped up heroically to support vulnerable people. This announcement extends the community grant scheme for older people to reflect the needs of our city, and responds quickly to the COVID-19 emergency.

All voluntary, community and faith groups are invited to bid for funding to support their activities, through a simple and accelerated process designed to get the money out the door to where it will make the most difference.
