Community Choice the first funding opportunity of 2026.

We support organisations that are working to improve health and wellbeing.

Community Choice gives passionate people working with small charities and CICs all over Britain the chance to secure a grant of £1,000 for their organisation.

Thousands of amazing people roll up their sleeves each week and get stuck in with a local charity or CIC that’s making a huge difference to people in their village, town or city. Many local communities depend on services offered by voluntary organisations to support them to live happier and healthier lives.

Community Choice is for charities and CICs with an annual income of £300,000 or less. It’s designed to be a quick and easy way to put your organisation forward to receive a grant. The funding pot is open for nominations from Monday 2 February at 9am to Friday 27 February at 5pm.

To nominate you must check your organisation is eligible and then submit a form. This is the only way we can accept nominations. We will not count any nominations received by email.

You can nominate if you work with a charity or CIC that has:

• Activities that improve health and wellbeing in England, Scotland and Wales
• An annual income of £300,000 or less
• Been running for 2 years or more
• A bank account in the organisation’s name

Employees or volunteers for the organisation can complete the nomination form

The nominating person needs to be a paid employee or a volunteer with the organisation to answer a few brief questions. This is because we need a small amount of information about the organisation for it to be nominated. The process will take about 10 minutes. Ten organisations will be selected at random to be awarded the £1,000 grant. They will be contacted in early March.

Nominate now!
