The Community Heritage Fund grant scheme has now closed. The scheme was part of the Revitalising Redesdale Landscape Partnership and will not continue on beyond the delivery phase of the project which ended in September 2022.
Over the five years between 2018 and 2022 years we funded 34 projects totally approximately £50,000 across Redesdale. Details of some of the projects funded are given in the Community Heritage Fund Projects section below.
Two levels of grant were awarded – under £500 and £500 to £2,000 including VAT. Applications were reviewed and decisions to fund made by a grant panel. The panel comprised representatives of the four Parishes in Redesdale and was supported by the Revitalising Redesdale project team.
