Community groups get trio of funding routes: sport, social ties, green space

Tewkesbury Borough Council said sports clubs and community groups in Brockworth can apply for funding to improve local sports and fitness facilities, with the opportunity arising as new homes have been built in the area [1].

Voscur said the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is launching the Common Ground Award, which invests capital funding in voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations that are building social connections across and between different communities [2].

BBC News Gloucestershire reported a £1m grant that local communities can use to protect threatened green spaces and wildlife sites [3].

The announcements are separate, but read together they show a cluster of funding for community and voluntary groups spanning sports facilities, social cohesion and green-space protection.
