Small Grants Scheme

The Small Grants Scheme launches each year in April and closes in May.

Launched by Local Councils, Northern Ireland Housing Executive, McDonald's UK, Coca-Cola and Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, the Small Grants Scheme provides support to volunteer projects that:

• Improve the health and well being of communities whilst helping to improve and/or maintain public spaces
• Use innovative ways to reduce littering and dog fouling where you live
• Improve the way your local environment is looked after, whether urban, rural or coastal
• Contribute to the development of civic pride within a community with a focus on environmental improvement.

Grants are available from £500 to £5,000 and are open to volunteer and community groups, all school and third level education organisations, youth groups and sports clubs undertaking civic pride projects throughout Northern Ireland.

This year, the Live Here Love Here team will be travelling around the country and stopping off in different locations to tell you more about the Small Grants Scheme. We'll be telling you all about how to apply in April 2020 and how to write that grant winning application!
