What’s it all about?

Community Assets closed in October 2019, and the final grants were made in summer 2020.

Through Community Assets we focused on helping local communities to address specific inequalities or disadvantages through ownership of an asset.

Applicants had to show us clear evidence that they have consulted with their communities, considered various options to meet their needs and selected the best option to address this.

We also funded work that is people-led, strengths-based and connected. Further information about understanding these ‘three approaches’ is available, including case studies.

Community Assets was informed by research carried out on its predecessor, Growing Community Assets.
