The Investing in Communities Fund (ICF) is a streamlined communities fund that is delivered as part of the Empowering Communities Programme. The fund reflects the commitment to investing in communities so that they can develop the resources and resilience to decide their own aspirations, priorities and solutions in response. The fund supports our most disadvantaged or fragile communities to tackle poverty in all its forms on their own terms. The fund also helps to meet the targets set out in the child poverty delivery plan and to underpin the Place Principle by encouraging more joined up collaborative approaches to services and assets to achieve better outcomes for people and communities.

This session delivered by our guest speaker Gillian Gunn from the Investing In Communities Team, will provide an overview of the fund’s aims, eligibility criteria and the application process. This will also include time for a Q&A.

If your organisation is considering applying to the fund, we would recommend that you register using link below. This will enable you to build in time to develop your proposal and to work collaboratively with your local community and wider partnerships before the fund opens for applications.
