The Power to Change Initial Grants Programme

The Power to Change Initial Grants Programme (IGP) is designed to help existing community businesses that are in a position to significantly improve their long-term sustainability within six months of receiving a grant. This means that they are looking for applications from existing organisations, which already have business plans in place and are ready to start work quickly on their proposals.

By the end of this year, they aim to have provided £9 million of funding and support to up to 70 community businesses.
