Support is available

GBK’s Healthy Communities Team are here to help you every step of the way — from your first idea through to finishing your project.

We know some groups are new to applying for grants or managing projects, so our team provides practical, hands-on support, including:

  • Application writing help and local workshops – learn how to plan your project, write your application, and build a simple budget that fits your idea.

  • Templates and examples – easy-to-use forms for budgets, project plans and reports, so you can focus on running your activities rather than paperwork.

  • One-on-one mentoring – our Healthy Communities Facilitators can help you set up your project, track your progress and get ready for reporting.

  • Community visits and follow-ups – GBK staff will check in during your project to offer guidance, help with challenges and celebrate successes.

  • Capacity-building support – we can connect you with training or resources to strengthen your organisation’s skills for future opportunities.

  • Help to find other funding – if your project grows or needs extra support, GBK can help you identify and apply for other grants or funding sources.

  • Sharing your success – we’ll work with you to showcase your project through community stories, social media and media releases, so others can see and learn from your great work.

Our goal is to make sure every community group feels confident, supported and recognised for the positive change they’re creating.
