Grants are available to purchase “tangible resources such as buildings, vehicles or equipment [that] will help to grow and improve service delivery”. They can also be used to pay for land, IT equipment, renovations, and some fees relating to capital projects including solicitors, architects and surveyors.
The funding must be spent before 31 March 2011.
