Grants available to Cardiff groups to improve community buildings
Organisations can apply for up to £10,000 through the Community Building Grants Scheme
Community and voluntary groups across Cardiff are being invited to apply for grant funding to enhance and improve their community buildings.
Through the Community Building Grants Scheme, organisations can apply for up to £10,000 to carry out a range of internal and external improvements. These may include:
· Enhancing accessibility
· Upgrading security
· Refurbishing kitchens
· Installing energy efficiency measures
The aim is to help local facilities become more welcoming, sustainable, and better used by the communities they serve.
Funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, the scheme requires applicants to contribute at least 15% of the total project cost from other sources.
Eligible buildings include community halls, centres, and other facilities that are open and accessible to the wider public—not just to specific groups or members. Applications received for buildings in deprived areas or which serve significant numbers of people from these deprived areas will be scored as a higher priority compared to other applications.
Cabinet Member for housing and Communities, Cllr Lee Bridgeman said:
“We’re encouraging community organisations to come forward with ideas that will make their buildings more accessible, more energy-efficient, and more useful to the people who rely on them. Whether it’s a new kitchen, better lighting, or improved access, this funding is here to help."
