Inclusive Communities Fund

Grants of up to £300k are available to support local not-for-profit organisations based in and delivering services in the West Midlands for works, activities and services that contribute to the themes of physical activity and sport, mental health and well-being, and arts, culture and creativity.

Creating a lasting legacy for the West Midlands: The Inclusive Communities Fund is a direct result of the budget surplus from the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Through the Fund, £9 million will be awarded to community-based organisations across the West Midlands, enabling access to exciting opportunities and fresh funding.

The Fund shares the four original core mission principles of the Commonwealth Games:

• Bringing people together
• Improving health and wellbeing
• Helping the region to grow
• Putting the region on the map

The majority of funding will be awarded via revenue grants for locally led projects that bring people together and promote health and wellbeing, but there will also be some smaller capital grants available.
