More about the Community Wellbeing Fund 

The Wiltshire Community Wellbeing Fund has been established to support community-led projects that improve health, wellbeing, social connection and resilience across Wiltshire communities.

Through a combination of crowdfunding and Area Board investment, the fund enables local groups, charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and community initiatives to secure additional financial support for projects that make a positive difference to local people.

The programme encourages organisations to engage their communities, demonstrate local support and develop sustainable projects that respond to local needs. By combining Wiltshire Council investment with community fundraising, the fund aims to maximise the impact of every pound invested and help bring forward innovative projects that strengthen communities and improve wellbeing outcomes across the county.

Applications that meet the eligibility criteria will be considered by Wiltshire's Area Boards, with funding decisions made locally to ensure investment supports priorities identified within individual communities.
