Just a heads up regarding Supporting Rural Communities which is the flagship grant programme of the Prince’s Countryside Fund, awarding £500,000 each year to support projects that enhance the viability and sustainability of rural communities.
The PCF will support projects that will create a long-term difference in rural communities across the UK with grants of up to £25,000 over two years. Applicants must be from properly constituted, not for profit organisations with an income of less than £500,000. We particularly welcome applications from groups and organisations with projects in hamlets, villages and small market towns.
The Spring Round of funding opens in March 2023.
BBN may be a useful vehicle for an application should there be a community project that we all wish to get behind. e.g. a sustainable energy project for Bourton!
