About People Zones Grant Funding 2023/24 - Round 3

Round 3 funding is currently open for all three People Zones: New Parks (Leicester City), Bell Foundry (Charnwood) and Thringstone & Whitwick (NWL).

​In order to support communities in their journey to become stronger, safer, more cohesive and self sustaining, a grants fund has been created, known as the People Zone Grants Fund. The purpose of this fund is to support the community in achieving their aspirations, by utilising the themes identified within the community consultation research reports.

Funding for projects can be applied for up to the sum of £10,000. Funding for multiple projects by the same organisation can be applied for, providing the total sum for all projects does not exceed £10,000.

The fund is open to applicants from any community based group or individual that has a registered bank account, who are either living, working, or providing a service within the People Zone. The funding can be used for projects/initiatives that meet any of the themes highlighted in the research report dedicated to their People Zone area.

Funding can be used for new initiatives/provision, to expand existing provision or as replacement funding. People Zone Grants Fund however, cannot be used to pay for staff wages, as this is not a sustainable option to ensure longevity of said projects.

What is the application process?

There will be several rounds throughout this financial year. The grant rounds will not be specific to certain themes and will be open to all themes, therefore ensuring that there is no limitation to which projects can be funded, providing said project/initiative benefits the People Zone. Please note, however, that the People Zone team has the right to close funding rounds at any point dependent on the continued availability of funding.

Applications will close at 5pm on Monday 4th December 2023.
