The £250,000 Community Fund – which is administered by the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation - is available for not-for-profit groups or small voluntary and community organisations, with grants of up to £15,000 being available to help support the local community. 

For British Science Week 2026, we’re offering grants of up to £600 to community groups that work with people who are typically underrepresented in science, and which set out to deliver an event or activity that involves the local community, challenges science stereotypes and inspires ongoing science engagement.

The YSYC fund will support causes that are of key importance to GTR and local communities on the GTR network. The Fund aims to build lasting social value; under the following key themes: mental health, employability skills amongst marginalised groups, diversity and inclusion, environmental sustainability and improving station environments. 

Every year East Cambridgeshire District Council gives community groups the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £1,000. The money can be spent on new or existing projects designed to improve the quality of life for residents in East Cambridgeshire.
