‘LISBURN 4 COMMUNITY’
'Your Community Funding Website'
Lisburn City Council has developed a new and exciting funding website entitled Lisburn 4 Community, to provide Community / Voluntary groups within the Lisburn area the opportunity to access up to date funding information in support of local community projects.
Lisburn 4 Community is a free to use, user-friendly service, and acts as a platform for groups to perform searches to locate a range of Lottery, Government and Trust funders throughout Northern Ireland and beyond.
Accessing funding opportunities for community projects can be a some-what daunting task for voluntary organisations, due to the vast range of Government, Lottery and Trust funders that currently exists. Lisburn 4 Community aims to ease the process of identifying relevant funders to support local community initiatives
Lisburn 4 Community will generate a range of vital information on funding for specific projects such as funding priorities, minimum and maximum amounts available, application process, deadlines and contact details.
