Our Community Investment Fund 2023/24
We want to support the communities we serve by working with local community groups.
One of the ways we do this through our Community Investment Fund. This is money available to groups working in areas where we have homes to help them to provide projects for tenants and the wider community.
Funding from the Community Investment Fund is available in 3 different ways:
- Community Investment Fund panel – for applications over £500
- Community Support Grant – for applications up to £500
- Soup Dragon’s Den – for applications up to £1,000
During the last financial year (April 2023 to March 2024) we supported 32 projects with a total spend of £99,968.
If you would like to find out about the Community Investment Fund you can find more details on our website Funding for community groups and projects | Progress Housing Group (progressgroup.org.uk) or contact the Customer Voice Team at community@progressgroup.org.uk.
Here are some stories from across our communities showing how groups have made use of the money provided.
