Community Grants Impact and Case Studies

For each of our Community Grants schemes, we collect feedback and monitoring information from Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations which are awarded funding. This allows us to show the impact that our funding has had and how Community Grants have benefited communities, volunteers and residents of Babergh.  

We use data and feedback from communities to inform our funding processes, as well as understanding what works and where challenges and opportunities lie for community groups and the voluntary sector. 

Community Grants play a key role in Babergh District Council’s priority of engaging, empowering and enabling communities to find local solutions to local issues.
