- start-up grants for new groups
- buying a piece of equipment for your group
- improving or developing your community group’s activities
- raising awareness of your group’s activities
- recruiting new volunteers/members to your group
- finding out about needs in your community
- small scale projects that enhance quality of life and complement other improvements in the area that will align with the Locality Improvement Plan.
