·        Economy and Regeneration – work to rejuvenate the economy.

·        Supporting communities – to be active, healthy, and safe.

·        Sustainable environment – create an environment for the future.

The two grant schemes are:

·        Fast Funding Grants for awards of between £500 and £1,500.

·        Member Grants for awards of between £2,000 and £3,500.
