Liverpool City Council is offering up to £4.2 million in grants to voluntary and
community groups working in the areas of community legal advice services, support
for victims of domestic violence, non-housing support for single homeless people,
stronger communities, and strengthening community and voluntary organisations.
The
Voluntary and Community Groups scheme is a three year fund, which runs from April
2008 to April 2011, and it will see up to £4.2 million given each year. Around 80
organisations have received money under the existing three year scheme, which was
launched in 2005.

Liverpool City Council gives a total of £7.6 million each year to voluntary, cultural
and educational organisations, which the council believes is one of the largest 
grant programmes of any local authority in the UK.

The closing date for applications is 15 October 2007.
