Funding

Understanding how BBC Children in Need helps improve children’s lives will help you talk to us about your project. By talking clearly about your activities and how they make differences that improve children’s lives, you help us better understand your intentions when we make a decision about your application. More importantly, once you have a grant, it will help us talk to you about the ongoing development of your project and its continued positive impact on children’s lives.

The Community Grant is designed to support community activities and improve the wellbeing of Dacorum residents. It is aimed at community groups and voluntary organisations within the borough who are looking for funding to deliver projects that will primarily benefit the people living in Dacorum. Projects must support our vision and priorities, as well as the "five ways to wellbeing" (see guidance notes below for more information)

Hertfordshire Community Foundation is an independent charity which encourages local philanthropy. We provide advice and giving options for donors which we transform into funding and support for small charities, voluntary groups and individuals in Hertfordshire. By making local giving easy we strengthen our local communities and improve the lives of vulnerable people.

People understand what’s needed in their communities better than anyone. We listen, collaborate and fund so that good things happen.

That’s why we’re proud to award money raised by National Lottery players across the UK.
