Grant source: Norwich Union Community Stars Programme

Background:

Norwich Union will be seeking to make several people happy with their new Community Stars Programme. The Programme will support local community projects run by registered charities by providing grants of between £250 and £1500. The scheme will operate in areas where Norwich Union has a large business presence: Perth; Liverpool; Birmingham; London; Worthing; Glasgow; York; Norwich; Croydon; Eastleigh/Southampton; Newcastle upon Tyne; Sheffield; Stevenage; and Bristol. The money must be spent on a specific project within 12 months of getting the grant.

Each of the eligible areas will have a regional budget, and a locally based committee will make grant decisions. In addition to the one-off grant, all supported organisations will also be considered for a further grant based upon how successful their first project was.

Applications will be accepted from local branches of national charities, but only where they relate to specific local projects.

Most charitable activities will be considered, but grants will not be given for sectarian or religious causes, overseas aid, public or private schools, or animal welfare projects.

The application process involves a form that needs to be sent to your appropriate regional contact (see below). Decisions are made on a quarterly basis. Closing dates: 31 December 2006 followed by 31 March, 30 June and 30 September 2007.
