Stronger Communities Inspire Fund

Stronger Communities is an ambitious programme to support communities to play a greater role in the delivery of services in North Yorkshire and achieve some key community objectives. Our vision is of stronger and more resilient, resourceful and confident communities in all parts of North Yorkshire effectively using their skills to co-produce, with the Authority and others, a range of local support and services that maximise the well-being of local people of all ages (children, young people, families, adults and older people). The Inspire Fund is one element of the Stronger Communities Programme's new investment approach – Inspire, Achieve, Innovate. The Inspire Fund is designed to encourage people to get involved in their local community by offering small grants (up to £1000) which help establish new services, events or activities that help to increase social interaction, encourage neighbourliness and improve the well-being of individuals and communities.
