Last year Connexus donated over £40,000 worth of grants to local community projects. Projects from across Herefordshire and Shropshire applied to the Community Development Fund (CDF) for grants of up to £5,000 each.
The Community Development Fund has been set up to help fund communities working together, on local projects, which have a positive effect in their area or Herefordshire and Shropshire. Connexus welcome applications for funds and assistance for new and existing projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Benefits our tenants and develops links with the wider community
- Encourages interaction between different generations within the whole community
- Leads to activities people want, but no one currently provides
- Generates training or employment opportunities
