Funding Support

If you are looking for funding support in terms of bid writing, project development and assistance with long term plans such as developing a community centre, village hall, securing new outdoor or playground equipment, regeneration, revenue or capital investment projects we can help.

We operate a triage service where all enquiries for support are directed. We will discuss your needs with you and then decide which member of staff has the right skills to support you or your group. This may be someone from Spectrum Futures CIC that does this or it may be someone from our parent Charity – Voluntary Action Rotherham.

Staff in both Spectrum Futures CIC and Voluntary Action Rotherham have vast experience in supporting community groups, organisations and social enterprises to find and secure grant funding opportunities for new and existing projects.

There may be funding opportunities available if you are a:

  • Social Enterprise
  • Community Group
  • Charity
  • School or public sector body

We can help you apply for funding however there may be a charge for this service.

For example if you are a small community group with no paid staff there would be no charge for a bid for upto £10,000 but if you are a larger charity with paid staff needing support on a large complex funding bid our fees could be up to £2500. We can discuss this with you on an individual basis so please do get in touch.
