C3SC will host an online information session on 2025 Community Cohesion Small Grant scheme.

Led by Nick Olsen, Cardiff Council’s Regional Community Cohesion Coordinator, join us on Tuesday 20 May between 14:00 -14:30 for an information and Q&A session.

Cardiff Council is inviting applications from constituted community groups and third sector organisations across the city for grant funding available to help build cohesive and resilient communities.

Funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, small grants of up to £2,000 are available to support projects and initiatives that promote community cohesion. Funding can be used for events, activities, supportive literature, or building community capacity.

To be eligible, projects must align with several of the following objectives:

• Celebrating diversity
• Countering the effects of hate, hateful narratives, disinformation, and misinformation
• Reducing community tensions
• Community capacity building
• Supporting community cohesion
• Promoting equality across all protected characteristics (Equality Act 2010)
• Promoting cohesive communities (Future Generations Act)
• Significant equality events
• Support inclusion, integration, tackle loneliness and isolation, identify commonality through shared interests and experiences, and celebrate the culture and heritage of the area.

Closing date for applications is 4pm on Friday 30 May 2025.

The event will take place on Teams and the link will be sent through the day prior to the event.
