Cheshire West Voluntary Action is a local intermediary and grant-maker that supports the voluntary and community sector across Cheshire West, with a strong emphasis on practical, place-based projects that improve wellbeing and strengthen local services. Its funding mix suggests a focus on youth provision, community resilience, health and mental wellbeing, financial inclusion, and arts/creative engagement for targeted groups, often through small-to-medium grants or regranted funds from larger foundations and public programs. It typically funds UK-registered charities, voluntary groups, and community organisations delivering clear local outcomes, often in partnership with councils, foundations, or corporate funders.
Primarily distributes regranted, program-specific funding through time-limited rounds, with grants commonly ranging from a few hundred pounds to around £15,000. Funding is usually open to local voluntary/community organisations, often with geography-specific eligibility, turnover caps, or project-based criteria; some opportunities are quarterly or have fixed closing dates, while others are invite-/partner-led or vary by round.

Check each live program’s deadline and eligibility carefully, since CWVA manages multiple distinct funds with different criteria. Strong applications clearly show local Cheshire West impact, a defined target group, and a short, deliverable project plan; for some funds, applicants must be UK-registered charities, under a turnover threshold, or working in specific themes such as youth, women and girls sport, health, or financial wellbeing.
