Nationwide has launched a new grant available to community-led housing groups to help them build new homes to meet local needs. Groups are able to apply for between £10,000 and £50,000 and have until 31st July 2020 to make their application.  Successful applicants will be notified in January 2021.

Nationwide will favour grants which: help charities and other community-based organisations get back on their feet after the impact of Covid-19; illustrate a clear link to Nationwide’s ambition for everyone to have ‘a place fit to call home’; can demonstrate the impact their project will have on the local community; and are supporting people in housing need in original or creative ways. This includes both projects already delivering local impact and those carrying out research to find new ways to challenge the housing crisis, and which have the potential to inspire and be used by others across the country.

Groups wishing to apply or find out more information about the grant should visit the Nationwide website at https://www.nationwidecommunitygrants.co.uk
