Applications open to UK groups seeking £3,000 for community improvements

Caremark has announced the availability of small grants through its Community Care Fund to support grassroots projects across the United Kingdom. The funding aims to improve quality of life and strengthen local communities through practical, locally led activity.

Grants of £3,000 are available for projects that deliver tangible benefits. Supported activities include the purchase of equipment for inclusive sports or activity groups, improvements to village halls or community centres and supplies for community gardens or green spaces.

Funding may also be used for equipment for food banks, community larders or support services, as well as enhancements to spaces used by charities or community groups. In addition, projects can include new equipment for pre-schools or playgrounds.

The competition is open to UK-based community groups, charities, not-for-profit organisations, schools, pre-schools and projects run by local authorities or community bodies. Applicants must be UK residents aged 18 or over and can submit a bid on behalf of an eligible project.

The grants are intended to support activities that create lasting local impact and address community needs through accessible and practical improvements.
