Key takeaways
- If your group is small and works within the Borough of Barnet on the local economy, wellbeing or inclusivity, the Silkstream Community Fund is worth considering, and a request within its stated £1,000 to £2,000 range is the natural fit.
- Applications are closed for the latest round, whose deadline was in August, so check when the next round opens before you plan a request.
- To apply, download the application form, complete it with details of your organisation and project, and email it to CB Plus.
- Your project needs to align with at least one of the fund's criteria, though it need not meet every listed outcome, and any group that receives a grant must later complete an impact report with a case study.
