Grant Directories

The £150 million Community Ownership Fund, which is part of the government’s strategy to build back better from the Covid-19 pandemic, provides grants for communities throughout the UK to take ownership of local facilities, community assets and amenities at risk of closure such as pubs, theatres, post offices, sports grounds, parks and corner shops, etc. Voluntary and community organisations can bid for match funding of up to £250,000 to support the purchase and/or renovation costs of these assets. Expressions of interest can be submitted at any time. Successful applicants will be invited to submit a full application during a specified bidding window which will be announced in due course. The fund will run until 2024/25.

The Community Asset Development is part of Social Investment Cymru which supports social enterprises in Wales with a range of financial products.  The Community Asset Development Fund (CADF) supports social businesses that are aiming to bring an asset into community ownership - either by purchasing the asset; purchasing and renovating the asset; renovating an existing asset that is not in full use; and equipping an asset.  The type of asset can vary from social/sports clubs, community halls, community hubs, community pubs etc.
