Groups and charities within three miles of local Sovereign homes are invited to apply for a share of up to £10,000 of its new £90,000 community grants programme.

The funding for 2021-2022 will be split across two rounds of £45,000. The first round, which invites applications from projects focusing on health and wellbeing, runs until 30 June.

Round two runs between 1 September and 31 October, with community cohesion and growth as its theme.

Faithworks Wessex’s homelessness and mental health work in Dorset has been a beneficiary in the past.

Sovereign is working with the not-for-profit organisation the Good Exchange.
