We are really pleased to announce the results of Micro Fund Round 11. The fund is awarding £118,000 to 39 applicants, this is made up of 13 businesses and 26 community groups.
Again, we were thrilled with continued interest and engagement with the fund – we received 57 proposals.
With this £118,000 that means the fund has given out 346 Micro Fund grants for just over £1.1 million since 2017.
