Community Impact Grants

Each year we ring-fence a sum of money to support specific projects and events. Linked to supporting our tenants, community projects can apply for Community Impact Grants.

The fund is aimed at supporting the work of Tenant and Resident groups, local charities, voluntary and community groups and organisations who operate in our areas to develop projects and activities that deliver outcomes to benefit GCH tenants and the communities we work in.

Our priorities for investing in the community are;

Developing Financial Inclusion
Providing opportunities to access employment and develop relevant skills
Supporting access to training and apprenticeships
Promoting health and well-being
Encouraging and supporting digital inclusion
