The Newark Trust Community Places Fund
The Newark Trust is delighted to announce its new fund, “The Newark Trust Community Places Fund”, launching on 1st July 2025.
The purpose of the fund is to support local community organisations in Inverclyde with projects designed to improve the places, buildings and environments in which activities already take place. Support would be by way of a one-off grant of between £2k - £20k.
The aim is to support organisations that align with The Newark Trust’s vision of improving the lives, health and welfare of people in Inverclyde, creating opportunities for a positive future.
Applications are open to charities, constituted groups, CiCs and social enterprises based in Inverclyde.
Applicants should be able to show how support from The Newark Trust can be used to create permanent and needed improvements to their building/ environment and how this in turn will support the local community.
Priority will be given to applications which do one or more of the following:
Improve equity of access
Improve efficiency / reduce running costs
Benefit the wider community
Increase the services or activities that can be offered in the building/place/environment
Address The Newark Trust’s priority areas: 1) Fighting Child Poverty and (2) Assisting Children and Young People with Disabilities
Applications open from 1st July 2025, and will be accepted following an initial discussion around eligibility with the Charity Manager, and close on 31st August 2025.
