Neighbourhood Support Fund

The Cheviot Neighbourhood Support Fund 2024/25 is open now and is available for local community projects, activities, and one-off events. The fund provides support and assistance with the development of community-based projects and activities for voluntary and community groups that are active in their local area.

Groups who wish to take forward projects that are of benefit to the local community can apply for grants up to the value of £5k.

Each group may only submit one application per fiscal year. This limit also applies to Community Councils and any Community Council's sub-groups.

Funding can be used for a variety of purposes such as:

• Purchase of equipment
• Small capital works
• Hire and running costs
• Maintenance costs
• Capacity building projects

Applications

All applications will be evaluated by an assessment panel which will then make its funding recommendations to the Cheviot Area Partnership. Meeting dates and associated application deadline dates are as follows:

Application Guidance

Please read the guidance notes and scoring matrix for information on who is eligible to apply and how you will be assessed to make sure you provide the assessment panel with the correct information. You will not be able to submit the online application without uploading all your supporting documents.

Applications will only be assessed once all mandatory supporting documents have been received.
