**Round 1 is now CLOSED**
Haringey VCS Challenge Funds provide grant funding that Haringey groups and organisations can apply for. Each Challenge Fund round will focus on a particular theme or issue identified in the VCS Priorities Report.
Guidance is provided for each Challenge Fund to ensure that applicants are able address the kinds of interventions and/or outcomes the community hopes to see. Successful grant awardees will be selected by a community panel of local residents, experts, and stakeholders.
Grant awardees will have six months to deliver their projects, ending with a showcase event to publicise the impact of their projects to local stakeholders and funders. Alongside project delivery, grant awardees will receive tailored capacity building support from Haringey Community Collaborative.
The initial phase of the Haringey Community Collaborative Challenge Fund involved a co-design process in Summer 2024, where more than 70 VCS organisations were engaged to identify the main priorities of need in the borough
Round 1 – ‘Cost of Living’
We are inviting applications for our Cost of Living Challenge Fund. We will award grants of around £2,000 to £3,000 to Haringey-based Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations with an annual turnover of less than £100K. Grants will be awards to projects supporting residents who are most affected by rising costs of living. Haringey’s VCS have strengths and opportunities to help residents meet their basic needs, to improve access to community support services, and to help residents improve their financial stability through opportunities for learning and working.
Applications deadline is Friday 15 November 2024 at 5.00pm.
