Housing provider Incommunities is now accepting applications for the first round of its 2024 ‘Funding In-communities’ programme.

The fund is open to community groups in Keighley and Bradford South that directly benefit Incommunities customers.

Groups can apply for grants of up to £2,500, £5,000, or £7,500, with the application deadline set for 4pm on Sunday, October 13.

The funding could be used for a variety of projects, including food banks, children's playgroups, social clubs, and art classes.

Funding recipients will be selected by an independent panel made up of Incommunities customers, colleagues, and board members.

The Keighley winners will be announced at a celebratory evening at Keighley Civic Hall on October 23, followed by a celebratory event for Bradford South applicants on October 27.

Susan Godbold, head of customer voice at Incommunities, said: "Our community fund continues to strengthen the amazing work that voluntary groups deliver for our residents.

"We launched the fund for the first time last year and had some great feedback from the groups we supported."
