Funding Advice
Newcastle City Council has announced the opening of its voluntary sector grant aid bidding process for the 2010 /11 financial year. Application packs for the following budgets can be downloaded from this site:
Adult Services Grant Aid Budget
Children's Care Services Grant Aid Budget
Facility Support Grant Aid Budget
Play and Youth Service Grant Aid Budget
Please note that the Adult Services budget now includes the former Adult Care Services grant budget and the Housing Homelessness grant budget.
Last year the council made long term commitments from its Early Years Budget and its Safer Sustainable Inclusive Communities Grant Aid budget and as such no funds are available from these two budgets for new projects in 2010/11.
