*NEWS*......We are pleased to announce that we (Hull City Council) have re-subscribed to the Hull 4 Funding Community Portal for a further 3 years.  The portal is now available to you, for free, until April 2028.

To date, for organisations that use this service Hull 4 Funding has secured a minimum of £9.29 million. That's £9.29 million that has supported a vast array of fantastic projects, making a significant difference to the residents of Hull.
