Paths for Communities is a funding scheme set up to develop and enhance the network of Public Rights of Way (PROW) in England in order to deliver benefits to rural areas. Local community partnerships are eligible to bid to Natural England for funds.

These Live & Local ‘surprising places’ are classic, traditional marquees with blue and white striped roofs that stand out from the plain white, frame-tents available from most hire companies. They have traditional guy ropes, stakes, and wooden poles with decorative hand-turned wooden dollies atop. They are elegant and traditional with a hint of the vaudeville – beautiful marquees, skillfully crafted by Belle Tents of North Cornwall.

The aim of the Central Warwickshire Villages LEADER programme is to create a strong sense of place within the rural areas of central Warwickshire. The programme aims to bring people together across the rural areas of Warwick District and Rugby Borough by creating sustainable and creative communities that create, celebrate and redefine their rural culture and heritage.

The programme supports projects under themes:
 Community Growing Projects
 Community Arts Projects and Events
 Linking Communities to Land Based Rural Industries

We are looking for great ideas and are keen to receive applications from any young people who want to set up their own community impact project.
  
We back people aged 11-21 with cash & support to launch projects that can change their world for the better
 
Projects can be around any topic/issues that young people are interested in from the arts and sport to the environment or bullying.
 

Grants are available to Arts and Heritage Organisations within Warwick District for any amount up to £2,500. Funding will be considered for:
• Original, high quality imaginative projects which take place within Warwick District.
• Projects that clearly demonstrate development and increased access to arts/heritage.

In 2011 the Institute of Fundraising secured funding from the Office for Civil Society to support small charities to fundraise more effectively.

The three year project supports small and localised organisations at grassroots level with an annual income of £1 million or less.

The guide is designed to provide advice, tools, techniques and templates to implement best practice within your organisation.Structured to offer managers insight into each aspect of the Human Resources cycle, we have sought input from successful organisations, large and small, that have a track record of excellent fundraising.

Whilst formulated to support the needs of smaller charities, organisations of any size will benefit from the resources included, whether you want to refresh your existing practice or review and change how you currently operate.
