Comic Relief is currently carrying out a review of its UK Grants programmes. This is to ensure that the money raised through Red Nose Day and Sport Relief is still reaching the areas and people that need it the most.

This means that we will not be accepting applications for funding until early 2009, however see below for further detail on our Small Grants Programmes as we will continue to make some grants up to the value of £5000.

Please keep checking the pages of www.comicrelief.com where details of our new programmes, application details and the next deadline date will be released.

For work taking place in the UK we will consider applications from registered charities and voluntary organisations with charitable purposes.

For work in Africa or the other countries we have highlighted, we will only consider applications from UK registered charities that are working in partnership with agencies located in the relevant country.

Funding is awarded under the following headings:

• Young People
• Older People
• Mental Health
• Refugees and Asylum Seekers
• Domestic Violence
• Disadvantaged Communities

The Main Grants Programme awards amounts over £5,000. Small and medium-sized projects will be considered as well as larger and longer-term grants where appropriate. The Small Grants Programme awards grants up to £5,000 in the following three programmes only:

• Disadvantaged Communities
• Older People
• Mental Health

Small grants applications (under £5,000) can be submitted at any time. Applicants informed of result within three months.
