Cost of Living RIF Fund 2024

As a result of once again acquiring some additional Regional Integration Fund (RIF) funding from the Regional Partnership Board, GAVO is offering a small grant scheme to help community organisations who have been providing additional wellbeing services and tackling loneliness & isolation over the 2023-24 Winter period.

GAVO has £37,500 to distribute. The fund is specifically to support increased utility costs in third sector leased and/or owned community buildings as a result of the ongoing cost of living crisis and winter pressures and is revenue only.

Depending on the level of applications, groups are likely to be awarded a percentage of their requested amount.
