We believe in giving back to the communities we work in. The team don’t want to help just one charity or community group in the area, but as many as possible. That’s why we’ve launched the Chester Community Support Scheme.
The scheme enables local charities and organisations to apply for grants to further support the work they are doing in the Chester area. We will accept applications from community groups or organisations which help disadvantaged people, promote sport and the arts, support education and development, and benefit the environment in Chester.
Members from Equilibrium’s Charitable Foundation will consider applications for assistance in a number of different categories including those that:
• Work in partnership with organisations assisting the disadvantaged
• Promote and encourage sporting activities;
• Promote and encourage activities in the arts;
• Support education and development;
• Benefit the environment
Please note: Only applications from non-profit organisations will be accepted.
Applications will be reviewed quarterly and one applicant from that quarter will receive a grant ranging from £100 to £500.
Applications not normally considered include:
• Applications from individuals;
• Projects that promote party political activities or religious causes;
• Projects that benefit or involve animals;
• Commercial enterprises.
