Action grants

A supporter at World Trade Fair, Abergavenny

Active Communities supporters inspire their local communities to take action against global poverty and inequality and learn more about global issues that involve and affect us all. Action grants of £20-£100 are available to help Active Communities supporters deliver their projects, which:

  • increase knowledge and understanding of global issues

  • challenge the attitudes and behaviours that perpetuate global poverty and inequality

  • inspire and motivate others to take positive action against poverty.

Are Action grants for you?

We support a broad range of activities, however, we will not awards grants to:

  • projects without a UK focus

  • projects planned by an organisation not an individual

  • projects solely aimed at fundraising

  • cover equipment purchases or salaries.


For more information and inspiration why not take a look at some examples of the fantastic projects that have already been completed.
