Trusthouse is interested in applications for capital projects at community centres in the most deprived urban areas and village halls in remote and economically deprived rural areas. They interpret ‘community centres’ in the broad sense, so you might be a church, sports facility or other building which offers a range of activities throughout the week which all the community can access.

They expect that you will be providing a range of activities for all ages and abilities which help to promote community cohesion and address local problems of isolation, poverty, lack of local facilities, transport and other issues of relevance to your area.

They will consider applications for

  • new buildings;
  • upgrading, renovating or extending buildings; or
  • improving or creating outside space (but not car parks).

You will need to have secured a minimum of 50% of the costs of the project before you start an application.
