Don't forget that South Yorkshire Community Foundation is inviting groups that are making a significant difference to the voluntary sector to apply for a grant from the new SYOF Legacy Fund A. Grants of £1,600 to £7,500 are available for voluntary, community or faith-based organisations based in, and operating in, South Yorkshire.

Priority will be given to groups and projects that aim to improve governance and leadership within the Third Sector or bring communities together in order to enhance their voice and capacity to influence.

Applicants must demonstrate: the benefit of their proposals to South Yorkshire communities; how the grant will enable the organisation to make a significant difference; and how members of the group are involved in decision making.

You can apply for: training, travel expenses, staff costs, other core costs, equipment, continuation funding and pilot projects, or anything which it can be demonstrated is needed to achieve the specified outcome.

Full details and application form are on their website.
