OPENING SOON on 10th July - The core principle of the Valuing Hampshire Communities Fund is to improve opportunities for people to maintain or develop their social support networks, increase independence, improve confidence (particularly where there is a long-term condition involved), and to reduce isolation. The fund will offer grants of £1,000 to £5,000 for those aged over 18 in Hampshire.
Further funds will continue to open throughout the year, so please keep an eye on our website http://www.hantscf.org.uk/grants.aspx
