Skip navigation to main content Our sites: Home Responsibility Sustainability Community grants Community grants Our community grants scheme gives funding to charities, community groups and schools that are working to make a positive difference to life in our region. Our window is always open for applications and we award grants of up to £1,000 each on a bi-monthly basis. So if there's a local project, event or cause that you'd like our support with, read on to find out more. Our last round of grants were awarded in October to: The Warren Youth Project (Hull) The Warren, based in Hull city centre, works with disadvantaged and marginalised young people aged between 14 and 25 - the majority of whom come from the city's most deprived areas. The group will use its grant to buy virtual reality headsets that can be used for a range of immersive educational and therapeutic training sessions. St John of Beverley Catholic Primary (East Yorkshire) St John of Beverley Primary School supports 165 children throughout Beverley and its surrounding villages. The school will use its grant to buy programmable 'toys' to support hands on learning experiences and encourage a love of digital technology Hibaldstow Methodist Hall (North Lincolnshire) Hibaldstow Methodist Hall is used by many North Lincolnshire community groups and residents for social activities. It will use its grant to transform its much loved garden space which has become neglected, especially during Covid-19 restrictions, into a welcoming and useful space for events and group meetings. Who can apply for a grant? Anyone from a community in Hull, East Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire where KCOM services are available or being installed can apply for a grant. Your application must be on behalf of a local community group, charity, voluntary group, club, school or other not-for-profit organisation, although you don’t need to work for them. What can the grant be used for? The grant must be used to benefit people living in our region. It can be used for specific purchases or to run activities or an event. Previous grants have been used to stage poetry competitions, create gardens, run community-based weight loss programmes and to buy everything from sports equipment to school library books – the options are almost endless. Grants must be used within six months of being awarded. Who decides if your application is successful? Our community panel - made up of KCOM employees who live and work in the region, considers every application we have received during this period on a bi-monthly basis. What makes a successful grant? Our community panel is looking for applications that will make a positive difference to members of the local community. Ideally, the grant should cover the whole cost or most of the cost of a project, purchase or event, rather than being put towards a bigger fundraising target. How do I apply for a grant?
