The Leeds Fund Micro Grants Summer 2022
10 November 2022
The Leeds Fund Micro Grants programme funds locally-rooted projects that improve the lives of people in Leeds’ communities. Small grants are awarded to groups that have great ideas to make a difference in their areas.
The programme aims to nurture activity that is community-led, uses local resources and has a clear community benefit. It focuses on health and wellness, enriching experiences, safe and friendly communities and learning and skill building.
