Dorset’s Community Foundation is now accepting applications from local charities
for Comic Relief’s small grants programme for 2011 – 2013.

Over the next two years £55, 239 will be available to fund community projects that
support vulnerable people living in Dorset. Up to 50% of the money which is available
is going to be awarded to sports projects which increase access to sport and exercise
for people who are socially excluded or disadvantaged in some way.

The Foundation receives a lot of applications from the main towns of Bournemouth
and Poole but is keen to distribute the funding more evenly across the county.
