The We Love Lichfield Fund has announced its next series of grants and is asking voluntary groups and organisations across the district to apply for funding.

Money is awarded twice a year by the Fund to voluntary organisations and up to £5,000 will be given away just before Christmas.

[](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2012/06/18/voluntary-groups-urged-to-apply-for-we-love-lichfield-fund-money/welovelichfield/)Grants are available for equipment, training and events, with between £100 and £500 awarded to successful groups who apply before November 11.

Simon Price, CEO of Arthur Price and patron of the We Love Lichfield Fund, said: “I’m delighted to announce the next series of grants for Autumn 2013 and I’m looking forward to hearing about all the fantastic work done across the district and how we can help.

“The Fund is here solely to help those people and organisations who give their time for free and make a significant contribution to society. Without them, many precious projects would not benefit many members of our society.

“The fund itself is run by volunteers with the support of amongst others Lichfield District Council and *LichfieldLive*, and together I hope we can make a difference across the district.”

Launched in 2011, the We Love Lichfield Fund considers applications from local groups in need twice a year. Companies and individuals are welcomed to donate or fund-raise and all money is invested through a permanent endowment fund by registered charity Staffordshire Community Foundation on behalf of We Love Lichfield in line with charity commission guidelines.

“The interest and dividends earned on the invested money is then distributed by the We Love Lichfield Fund as small grants across the district,” Simon added. “The beauty of this model is that it will provide a source of on-going funding that can be used for small grants, and larger grants as the fund grows, for many years to come.

“The fund aims to raise £500,000 by April 2016, which would mean up to £25,000 could be given away every year.”

Applications to the We Love Lichfield Fund will close on November 11\. In order to qualify you should make sure that your organisation and project fits in with the guidelines.
