Community Chest Grant Scheme 2023/24

Over the last two years, the Community Chest has welcomed applications that focused on helping residents during and recovering from the pandemic. This resulted in the delivery of projects and initiatives developed by the community for the community.

This year we welcome applications from community groups and organisations who would like to help us achieve the following priorities that have been set out within the Corporate Plan for 2023–28:

  • Improving the quality of life and well-being for everyone

  • Keeping people out of crisis

  • Helping people in crisis

  • Lowering carbon emissions

We will be inviting applications from 1 April 2023,  from organisations or groups who require financial help to deliver projects that address one or more of the challenges.

Applications must be for projects that are based in Huntingdonshire, and where the significant majority of beneficiaries are Huntingdonshire residents.
