Springboard
Community Fund

Springboard is our community fund programme that offers cash injections to much needed local groups and community activities that will improve the areas our customers live in.

Who can apply for a Springboard community grant?

Anyone can apply for a Springboard grant, whether you’re an established community group, a charity, school, or just an individual with a great idea for a community project. You don’t need to be a Salix Homes tenant, just as long as your project will benefit the communities we work in.

What kind of projects receive funding?

We are looking for initiatives that:

• Build a sense of community
• Make the environment better
• Help people connect and reduce loneliness
• Provide training and job opportunities
• Support better health and wellbeing
• Make the community safer

We consider all applications that benefit our communities.

How much funding can I apply for?

Most grants awarded range between £500–£2,000, though exceptions may be made depending on the nature and impact of the project. Each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We cannot guarantee that the full amount requested will be awarded, and some projects may receive partial funding.

Approval process

Our Customer Engagement team reviews all applications we receive, to ensure they will benefit our communities in one of the ways mentioned above.

All successful applications will need to provide evidence and evaluation to demonstrate how they have delivered the funding.
