Applicants will need to be able to explain how their idea or project will make a difference and deliver positive community benefit to one or more of the following priority sections of the Central Bedfordshire population:
- Women
- Young people aged 16-34
- Over 75s
- Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions
- Culturally diverse communities

The grant fund will operate in bidding rounds.
The current bidding round has closed but further rounds will be detailed on their website here, as well as in email bulletins and via partner organisations.
