About the fund
We are dedicated to supporting our local community and the neighbourhood fund does just that. Each year, we set aside £100,000 to help fun community groups in Bournemouth, promoting physical activities, education, health and wellbeing, and positive environmental outcomes.

We partner with ActionFunder
We’ve partnered with ActionFunder, an online platform that matches organisations like ours to not-for-profit community groups like yours.
ActionFunder will match you with us and our Community Outreach Team will review these matches monthly.
If you’re successful we’ll send you a funding invitation through ActionFunder, and the rest is taken from there.
If we can’t offer support on that occasion, you’ll be able to match with other organisations through ActionFunder, or we may revisit you at our next review. Once the amount of funding available in the Fund is awarded, we will not be able to consider any further applications within the same year.
