Community Anchor Collectives funding opportunity

Find out about Community Anchor Collective Grants in Harrogate and Scarborough.

We have provided foundational investment to 25 Community Anchor Organisations based primarily in the principal towns. Following research in the larger urban areas of Harrogate and Scarborough to help us identify the typologies of a Community Anchor model that will best serve those larger urban areas (town centres and their distinctive neighbourhoods) we are now inviting applications for two ‘Community Anchor Collectives’, one each for Harrogate and Scarborough.

These Community Anchor Collectives will partner with us to achieve our overarching aims of:

  • preventing and reducing health inequalities
  • increasing community resilience
  • social regeneration

We are looking for applications from single co-ordinating organisations on behalf of a ‘collective’ of locally empowered organisations that are proactive and who have a track record of anticipating and responding to the needs of their communities.

We are offering £20,000 per year over three years for the co-ordinating anchor organisation.
