About the Grant
The Wellness Works Small Grants Programme supports voluntary and community groups in Kirklees to deliver projects that promote health, wellbeing, and personal development. Grants of up to £10,000 are available to fund activities helping residents build confidence, learn new skills, and progress towards training, volunteering, or employment. Eligible projects can include physical and mental health workshops, creative and arts-based activities, peer support groups, volunteering initiatives, and community events that foster inclusion and engagement. The programme also welcomes initiatives that remove barriers to participation, such as offering transport or necessary equipment. However, it will not fund general running costs, political or religious activities, or projects outside Kirklees. This grant is designed to encourage innovation and collaboration, supporting organisations that help residents achieve healthier, more connected lives while strengthening community bonds.
Who can Apply?
Eligible applicants include voluntary and community organisations, charities, social enterprises, faith-based organisations, and informal community groups that have a constitution and a bank account.

Projects should be inclusive and accessible, catering to diverse groups within the community. Organisations are encouraged to design creative, engaging activities that address local needs and foster personal growth and social connection. Applicants must ensure their proposed initiatives are time-bound, feasible, and capable of demonstrating tangible outcomes such as improved health, confidence, or employability among participants.
