The overall aims of the fund are to support activity which will sustain and develop the life of the community and ensure that the area is an attractive and vibrant place to live, work and visit. To achieve this, the Fund will support activity that will lead to the following outcomes:

• Adequate access to services for community members
• Supporting sustainable communities
• Opportunities to grow the local economy
• Developed or maintained community assets
• Promote community spirit and encourage community activity

Grant requests to support a wide range of costs and activities will be considered, such as equipment costs, running costs for local groups, staff or sessional worker costs, consultations, and maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities.
