The Capital Fund is open for applications from Thursday 2nd July 2026 with a deadline for submission of 12pm on Friday, 31st July 2026
This Fund aims to provide capital resources for projects that support independent living in the community for people with care and support needs, and to provide intermediate care settings in the community so that people who need care, support and rehabilitation can return to living independently or maintain their existing independence.
The Capital Fund is focussed on the following priority groups:
- Older people including people with dementia,
- Children and young people with complex needs,
- People with learning disabilities, neuro-diverse and neurodevelopmental conditions,
- Unpaid carers, and
- People with emotional health and mental well-being needs.
Organisations can apply for a maximum of £12,500 per project. There is no minimum.
Proposals MUST demonstrate an alignment to all the following criteria:
- Projects must support the aim of the capital fund as outlined above.
- Projects must be focussed on one or more of the priority groups detailed above.
- They must deliver services closer to home in their local communities to help prevent the need to access health & social care services in a more formal setting.
- They must promote emotional health and wellbeing as well as prevent poor mental health.
- They must relate to capital expenditure only
- They must be in response to an identified need in Cardiff and/or the Vale of Glamorgan.
- They must build on community assets, local resources and mobilise volunteers to contribute to healthy and confident communities.
- This Fund is only available once for any new service and so applications must be able to demonstrate how the initiative will be able to be sustained following its use.
