Severn Trent Community Fund Update

We can’t quite believe it, but the Community Fund is almost coming to the end of it’s fifth year!

January 2020 when we launched seems like such a long time ago now, but at the same time it feels like the last five years have flown by.  

As Severn Trent Community Fund was a commitment to give away over £10million from 2020-2025, we’ll be entering a new five-year period from next year, so we’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready.

Based on feedback from the communities and current level of need there will be some changes to the Fund offering next year; the main ones being that the maximum grant amount for a new project will now be £100,000, and that we’ll be having a more balanced approach across core and new project funding, with an equal focus on each.  

The website has now been updated with all the information ready for next year and here are the new links:
