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.
