Erewash Voluntary Action (EVA) is a local infrastructure and grantmaker that supports voluntary and community groups across Erewash and nearby parts of Derbyshire. Its funding is highly place-based and typically targets practical community projects that reduce health inequalities, improve wellbeing, strengthen resilience, and address adult mental health needs. EVA appears to work closely with public-sector partners, using small grants to extend or develop grassroots services rather than funding large standalone programs.
Small, locally focused grants with modest award sizes (typically up to £1,500), often supported by local government or health partners. Some programs are open year-round with no fixed deadline, while others are network-based or commission-funded and may operate by local referral or community network process.
Focus proposals on a clearly defined local need in Erewash or Derbyshire and show how the project will improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, or tackle health inequalities. Emphasize community reach, practical outcomes, and collaboration with local partners; for the Small Grant Scheme, applications can be submitted at any time, but applicants should check the specific network or mental health fund process before applying.
