What you can find on this page: Our current priorities for funding Application criteria Grant programme Application forms Further information Some of the issues we are tackling through our grant making include support for people who are: finding it hard to access employment struggling with isolation experiencing digital exclusion having difficulties with mental wellbeing. Our current priorities for funding Grants are available to fund local activities that improve the quality of life of Paradigm residents and their communities. Activities need to demonstrate how funding will benefit Paradigm residents either directly or by their impact on the local community. For example, tackling the root causes of anti-social behaviour to improve safety in the community. You can see a map of the communities we work in here. Projects must align with one or more of our priorities to: promote the reduction of disadvantage, supporting people to become financially independent and breaking the cycle of poverty support people’s health, wellbeing and safety, and to maintain a safe and stable home promoting community action, cohesion and reducing isolation and exclusion.
