Covid-19 Community Champion Micro Grants are available to support organisations to create materials and/or spaces for sharing key health messages around Covid-19, vaccinations, government guidance and restrictions in ways that are accessible and appropriate for their communities. .

Leeds City Council are looking to increase outreach, engagement and communication with all communities living in Leeds around key Covid-19 messages and the vaccination programme, helping people to make informed choices.

 

What can the fund be used for

The grants are available for new activities, or to build on existing activities, which support the sharing of positive health messages around Covid-19,  vaccinations and restrictions

They can be used to print materials, hold conversations, reimburse volunteer expenses, run activities… or any idea which you believe will support your community will be considered.

 

Who can apply?

The micro grants are aimed at voluntary and community organisations and groups, who (with the support of the grant) can deliver their project or activity by Friday 13th August 2021.

Applications are strongly from groups and organisations who work within the Leeds boundary and work with our diverse communities of
Leeds, which include but are not limited to:

• Disabled people
• Older people
•  Younger people
• Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities
• Communities experiencing disadvantage through poverty
