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.
Please note: The maximum amount of grant for
any one project will be £5,000
