Funding Available For Local Groups From GAMP

Great Aycliffe & Middridge Partnership (GAMP) have recently launched a Community Grant Fund, to provide grants to groups organising projects/activities within the GAMP area that will directly benefit and improve the lives of local people.

Funding is available to all local GAMP groups to apply for a one off grant to increase their capacity to develop community focused activities. Activities may include:

• Young people’s activities during school holidays

• Social activities for older people

• Community events

• Equipment that supports a particular activity

Applications to the GAMP Community Grant Fund must meet the following criteria:

• The beneficiaries of the activity are people in the GAMP area

• The activity addresses one or more of the GAMP priorities:

*Activities for Young People

*Crime and Community Safety

*Employment, Enterprise, Education & Training

• The activity must not have started

Who can apply?

• Any local not for profit and voluntary organisations operating within the Great Aycliffe and Middridge Partnership (GAMP) area.

• Faith based groups who operate activities which are not purely for religious benefit.

• Groups can apply on behalf of an individual, but the group should benefit in some way for doing this (e.g. an individual attached to a group applying for a coaching award).

How much can you apply for?

Applicants can apply for amounts between £250 and £750. Please note groups can only make one application for this funding, and funding will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Please also note, groups who have previously received a GAMP Small Grant won’t be eligible for funding.

If you would like an application form, please contact the GAMP Team on 01325 327 441, or email: gampaap@durham.gov.uk
