Wilmslow Community Support Scheme

Providing funding for community organisations

We have launched our Community Support Scheme in Wilmslow to make a positive difference in the local community we work in.

Due to the success of our Chester Community Support Scheme launched last year we have made the decision to bring the scheme to Wilmslow.

The Scheme enables local charities and organisations to apply for grants to further support the work they are doing in the Wilmslow area. Applications are welcome from community groups or organisations which help disadvantaged people, promote sport and the arts, support education and development, and benefit the environment in the Wilmslow area.

The Equilibrium Foundation will consider applications in a number of different categories, including causes 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.
