Westmorland and Furness Council has launched a new grant finding tool for communities and businesses.

The funding portal is designed to help communities and businesses easily locate available funding opportunities. This user-friendly resource is hosted on the council’s website, providing access to a comprehensive national database of grants, including those offered directly by the council.

The tool is part of the council’s ongoing commitment to support local business growth, innovation and development, and to enable community groups and others to flourish, making Westmorland and Furness a great place to live, work and thrive.

The council encourages all community members, businesses, and organisations to explore the new grant finding tool and take advantage of the funding opportunities available. With this tool, users can search for available grants tailored to their specific needs and projects, streamlining the process of securing financial support.

To start exploring available funding, visit the council’s website and navigate to either the community or business portal.

Councillor Virginia Taylor, Cabinet Member for Sustainable Communities and Localities, said:

“We are delighted to introduce this new grant finding tool, which we believe will be a game-changer for our communities and businesses.

“By providing a centralised platform to search for grants, we aim to empower local businesses and community organisations to pursue their goals and projects with greater ease and confidence.

“The new tool will allow users to access a wealth of funding opportunities easily, helping to drive positive change and development within the community.”
