Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated geographic priority is The County of Lancashire, so a group working there is the clearest fit, though that is a priority and not a stated limit on who may apply.
- Its main work supports small local VCFSE groups and organisations, and it also funds some of its own projects and administers funds for other organisations, so a group could ask about any of these.
- No grant range is given, so ask about likely sizes before you set your request.
- No application process is published, so start with a call or email to the contact shown, to ask whether any fund is open and how to apply.
- Timing and how competitive funding is cannot be judged from what is published, and the £837,059 annual giving figure comes from a scanned annual report that the register does not confirm.
