The activities must benefit local residents, especially those who may be disadvantaged and vulnerable.

Rachel McGrath, deputy CEO and grants director of Northamptonshire Community Foundation said: “We have seen how the pandemic has massively impacted the economic and financial wellbeing of our local communities and so we are delighted to be able to launch a funding programme that will go some way to help support and contribute to local economic wellbeing and give a boost to new and existing social enterprise activity locally.”

Groups can apply via the NCF website with a closing date for applications of Friday October 15.
