Lessons Learnt:

There are a couple of key learning points from the assessments of the first applications that we would like to share for future potential applicants (these have been incorporated into the application form):

if your project is seeking a contribution towards a larger project or event then please clarify how much other money has been secured and what specifically the CHCP award would be used for
the timeframe for applications being submitted needs to be appropriate to the delivery timeframe for the project or event. As a general rule we would expect successful applicants to spend the award within 3 months of receipt

The aim of the CHCP small grants programme is to provide an opportunity for local voluntary and community organisations and/or other not-for-profit organisations to contribute towards the health and wellbeing of people living in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The programme provides grants or donations of up to £1,000 maximum to carry out activities, projects or one-off events requiring an element of sponsorship.
