What is available?

Grants of £500-£2,500 are available for community groups and organisations to deliver or add to activities or events that support the Huntingdonshire Futures place strategy.

The goal of Huntingdonshire Futures is to make Huntingdonshire a better place to live, work, and visit over the next 30 years. The strategy is made up of five ‘journeys’. Applications must link to and support at least one of these and may cover more than one.

The five journeys are:

• Pride in Place – Celebrating your place… Huntingdonshire, your town, your village, your street, or your community group!
• Inclusive Economy – Supporting people in your community to access skills and opportunities
• Health Embedded – Ensuring your community stays active and social, two of the most important ways we can stay healthier for longer
• Environmental Innovation – Improving Huntingdonshire’s environment for your community and future generations
• Travel Transformed – Sustainable travel around your community.

To help, we have put together a brief explanation for each one, as well as some examples of activities or events in our FAQs. These are not prescriptive or exhaustive – please be creative and think about what would make a positive impact on your community.

If you’d like to discuss your idea, please email place@huntingdonshire.gov.uk.

How to apply?

Applications must be for projects that are based in Huntingdonshire and where the majority of beneficiaries are Huntingdonshire residents. Please note that you cannot apply for both the Huntingdonshire Futures grant scheme and the Community Chest grant scheme in 2024/2025 for the same project, event, activity or purpose.
