The Local Giving Fund is a small grant (up to £300) aimed at providing items of play equipment to organisations based in rural Devon.
The aim of the grant scheme is to provide a very simple way for rural community groups to access small amounts of funding for play equipment to support children and/or young people.

Please note that only not-for-profit groups and organisations are eligible.
What will be funded?

Funds can be used for a wide range of equipment. Some examples of things we will support are:
- Indoor play equipment
- Toys
- Outdoor play equipment
- Electronic devices
Some things that we would not support include:
