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.
