Welcome to this edition of Inter-action
The e- newsletter of Redcar and Cleveland Voluntary Development Agency.
Deadline Extension: Community Health Fund
Deadline extended to Monday 9th February 2015 applications must be received before 12.00 noon.
Community Health Fund is provided by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council through Grants to Voluntary Organisations and Community Groups and is part of a number of initiatives that build community capacity for health, wellbeing and independence.
The aim of the fund is for local organisations to develop and implement low level, community based activities that have a positive effect on the health and well-being of local residents aged 20 + – particularly those people who are most vulnerable or isolated within our communities.
Groups can apply for grants from £300 – £1000.
Please read the application guidelines carefully which can be found here.
Applications are via an online application form which should be submitted by no later than 12.00 noon Monday 9th February 2015.
If you require a paper copy of the application form please do not hesitate to contact Claire Stollery on 01642 440571

Community Energy
A share of £100,000 is up for grabs as part of a new community energy competition launched today by Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Edward Davey.
Community groups and other eligible organisations across England are invited to apply for the funding to develop innovative energy-saving ideas that could help slash energy bills.
Ideas can be anything from hosting an energy advice stall in your local shopping centre, to crowd-funding solar panels for your local church or running a ‘buddy’ programme to help vulnerable households get to grips with their energy bills, switch energy suppliers and save money.
Applications close on 10 February 2015, with the winners due to be announced shortly afterwards. Successful applicants will need to deliver their idea by the end of March 2015.
