Leeds Community Foundation is pleased to open The Leeds Fund Micro Grants for the latest round of applications.

Micro Grants support small community groups in Leeds to improve the lives of the people in their communities through volunteer-led activities that make a positive difference. We have different funding themes and are keen to fund projects that support these areas in innovative ways.

Health and Wellness – Activities to address physical and mental health such as local support groups enabling exercise like walking groups, or activities that increase awareness of mental health.  Activities could also address isolation and loneliness in communities. 

Enriching Experiences – Activities that bring joy, creativity and expression to life such as gardening, sports, language or dance sessions. Projects might also focus on environmental conservation, such as litter picking or community vegetable gardens.  

Safe and friendly Communities – Projects that play a part in addressing issues such as anti-social behaviour, housing support or help community integration such as activities that help people feel safe in their community or groups that bring together and create understanding of different cultures in the same community.   

Learning and Skill Building – Activities and projects that encourage learning and could for example support people in gaining life skills and employability skills or tackle disadvantages and barriers to learning.  

Importantly, all activities should bring people in the community together for positive change and action. 

Grant Size: £500 to £2,500

Location: Leeds

Application Deadline: 31/01/2023 at 12 noon
