Do you run a voluntary or community organisation? Then you could apply for thousands of pounds from the corporate voluntary grants run by Redbridge Council.

There is just over £76,000 on offer and organisations can apply for up to 50 per cent of the costs of a project which will improve the lives of residents.

The one year flexible fund can be used for volunteer development, pilot projects and proposals as well as partnership development.

A further £23,000 is available under the strategic partners fund for projects which promote skills and opportunities to develop the Redbridge economy.

Applications must have at least 50 per cent of the funding from elsewhere.
