Solihull Voluntary Sector Resilience Fund.

Solihull MBC has partnered with the Foundation to launch the £50,600 grant programme to fund cost-of-living support to VCSE organisations and community spaces in Solihull to stay open and be able to respond to rise in demand during the winter months.

There are two priorities for funding. Applications can meet one or both priorities:

  1. Core costs – these are essential costs your organisation has, to keep running.
  2. Project costs – these should be associated with a new or extension to an existing service that supports people in addressing cost-of-living pressures this winter.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available. This is a one-off grant per organisation, you
cannot reapply.

Please note: We cannot fund projects or costs that have already taken place. We can accept costs from the 9th March – 31st May 2023.

Successful applicants will need to have expended their grant by 31st May 2023.

The deadline to apply to this fund is Monday 20th February.

For more information on the fund please see the Fund Factsheet.
Please read our Essential Information before applying.
