Community Action Northumberland focuses on strengthening rural communities across Northumberland by funding and supporting village halls, community buildings, and volunteer-led local groups. Its giving is practical and place-based, with a strong emphasis on reducing isolation, improving wellbeing for older residents, and helping community spaces stay viable through small grants, advice, and project support. It also appears to act as a connector and facilitator, helping communities access partner funding and develop energy-saving or heritage-related projects.
Primarily small, targeted grants and facilitated local funding support, including £500 microgrants and community-building related schemes. Funding appears to be distributed on a rolling or program-specific basis, often through partnerships and local eligibility criteria rather than open-ended national applications.
