ICB Small Groups Funding 2025–26

BPRCVS, working in partnership with Social Prescribing for East Lancashire and NHS Lancashire & South Cumbria, is delighted to announce that applications are now open for the Small Groups Funding 2025–26.
​
This fund offers grants of up to £5,000 to help grassroots organisations across Burnley, Pendle, and Rossendale deliver projects that improve health, wellbeing, and community connections.

​Open for applications up to £5,000.00 for organisations with a turnover of up to £150,000.00.
​
Closing Date for Round Two Applications: noon 26th September 2025

Who Can Apply?

​This funding is designed to support smaller, local groups making a big difference. To be eligible, your organisation must:

• Be a constituted voluntary, community, or faith group, registered charity, or not-for-profit company (including CICs).
• Have an annual turnover of under £150,000.
• Hold appropriate governance, safeguarding policies, and procedures (BPRCVS can help with this if needed).
• Have a bank account with at least two unrelated signatories.

If you’ve previously received Small Groups Funding, you’re welcome to reapply—provided your 2024–25 project was completed and monitoring submitted by 31st March 2025.

 Please note: you cannot apply through both BPRCVS and Hyndburn & Ribble Valley CVS, and groups already funded by the Lancashire & South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) under another contract or SLA are not eligible.
