IMPORTANT - if you have received a grant from any other funder before, you cannot apply for a Seed Grant.

What kind of activities can Seed Grants support?
Seed Grants can support any activity that helps a group of people to get a new community group started or that assists an unfunded group to take an important step forward in its development.
How much can you apply for and how many Seed Grants are available?
Groups can apply for up to a maximum of £400. We expect to be able to offer 10 Seed Grants in 2011-2012.
