Funding Criteria

Your application will be scored against the following criteria:

  • does it fulfil a perceived need in the local community by addressing community issues such as health, the environment and community safety?
  • does it target disadvantaged groups or areas within the community?
  • is it in line with co-operative values and principles?
  • will it provide a short or long-term benefit for a section of the community through providing equipment, delivering a physical benefit to the group (for instance access to a community hall for people with a disability), training or education?
  • does it show imagination in its approach (for example, different or innovative approaches to old problems)?
