Newark and Sherwood District Council has given its Community Chest fund a new look and is relaunching the scheme as the Grant for Local Opportunities and Wellbeing (GLOW).
It will provide community groups with the opportunity to apply for funding of up to £1,000 to support local projects.
Grants can be used to support a range of projects that will specifically improve amenities in or around social housing areas, including projects with the aim of:
Resolving community identified issues
Reducing anti-social behaviour around social housing
Supporting safety and security measures
Increasing wellbeing and mental health of tenants
Tackling issues relating to waste management, litter and dog fouling
Helping vulnerable groups or individuals
Supporting tenants into education, learning and volunteering opportunities
