Signpost Resident Community Fund

What is Signpost Residents Community Fund?

Signpost is committed to investing in and supporting the neighbourhoods and communities that we serve. The Signpost Residents’ Community Fund is a sum of money that has been put aside by Signpost to help voluntary and community groups.

What activities will the Residents' Community Fund pay for?

We aim to support a wide range of activities and projects that will benefit local neighbourhoods. Everything will be considered ranging from play equipment for toddlers to internet access for older people. Awards vary from £50 up to £5,000. Priority will be given to applications which are judged as most benefiting those less fortunate or socially excluded.

How is the fund managed?

The Community Fund is managed by a committee made up of residents, Board members, Signpost Staff and independent voluntary workers in the east area which covers Dorset, South Somerset and Wiltshire.

Applications in Devon and North Somerset are managed by the West Area Residents’ Forum.

Who can apply?

Any voluntary group or organisation (including tenant groups), which benefit neighbourhoods in the South West, are welcome to apply. The scheme is not for individuals and cannot be used for core funding such as wages.
