To mark our 50th anniversary, we’re giving away 50 grants of £1,000 to help our communities shine even brighter!
Whether you’ve got a brilliant idea or a project already underway that could use a boost, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to bring something special to your neighbourhood and make a real difference.
What We’re Looking For
- We’ve kept things simple so it’s easy to apply. Your idea should:
- Be led by a Plus Dane customer or a local community group in a Plus Dane neighbourhood
- Take place in a Plus Dane neighbourhood
- Benefit the local community – this could mean improving the environment, boosting wellbeing, encouraging inclusion, or bringing people together
- Be something new or something you’re already doing that could grow with extra support
- Be completed by March 2026
What Will Make Your Application Shine
- We’ll be looking for ideas that show:
- Community impact – how will it help local people?
- Inclusivity – does it welcome people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds?
- Feasibility – is it realistic and achievable?
- Resident involvement – will it get others involved?
- Value for money – does it make a big difference for the cost?
We especially want to support those who don’t have access to other funding.
What We Can’t Fund
We’re not able to fund:
- Political or religious activities
- Salaries or ongoing running costs
- Projects outside Plus Dane neighbourhoods
- Anything for personal use or profit
- Activities that have already happened

Or, if you prefer, send us a short video telling us about your idea and how it meets the criteria. Email it to: engagement&partnerships@plusdane.co.uk
