Apply now for an opportunity to access Severn Trent's £10 million community fund

Severn Trent has announced a new £10 million community fund to be awarded over the next five years to support local projects, charities and community groups in the Severn Trent region. Applications can be made by organisations including, but not exclusive to, publicly funded schools, charities, local authorities, parish councils and sports clubs.

The fund has been shaped by customers and as a result has been designed with a focus around improving community wellbeing, namely:

• People: Projects that help people to lead a healthier life and gain new skills
• Places: Projects that help to create better places to live in and use
• Environment: Projects that will help look after our natural environment, give people greater access to that environment or help look after water

Applications opened on 6 January and, as it's a rolling programme, applications for support can be made at any time during the year and there are no closing dates.  Quarterly panels will be held in March, June, September and December, where applications will be considered and decisions made on which projects will receive funding.
