Grant schemes for community organisations to provide Welcoming Spaces for residents

Applications can now be made for the Welcoming Spaces Grant Scheme run by West Northamptonshire Council. Community organisations can now apply for vital funds to create safe, non-judgemental, warm, and welcoming spaces for local people.

Using funds from the Household Support Fund for West Northamptonshire, the Council is seeking to support the creation or development of Welcoming Spaces across the area. Environments where residents can come together, enjoy refreshments and access wider support services.

Grants of £500 to £1,500 are available to community and voluntary organisations, registered charities, and other qualifying bodies, with funding intended to provide support until the end of March 2026.

The closing date for all applications is 10.00am on Monday 6 October 2025.
