Alcohol and Drug Community Development Fund
» Criteria
You can apply to the Alcohol and Drug Community Development Fund if your group:
- is based in the County Durham area
- needs a grant to address drug or alcohol misuse locally [maximum of £2,000 in exceptional circumstances]
- has a constitution or a set of rules [for new groups this could simply be an outline – please ask for further details]
- has a bank account or building society account with at least 2 joint signatories
- has a statement of income and expenditure or annual accounts [New groups who cannot provide a set of accounts need only send an estimate of income and expenditure for the 1st year]
- will agree to County Durham DAAT Unit promoting the group and how the money has been used to benefit the group/community
- is wanting to develop a new initiative
- is overseen by a named member of staff who agrees to supervise the financial accountability of this fund
- is able to demonstrate it has received and spent the money allocated by this fund
Who considers your application?
A sub committee is made up of people from County Durham DAAT Unit and partner agencies.
Applications will be considered at least quarterly.
Before grants are awarded, it may be necessary to visit groups to discuss the potential use of the Alcohol Development Grant Fund.
All groups, receiving an award, will be expected to report outcomes within 12 weeks and produce evidence of how funding has been spent. With larger grants there will also be a 12 month report procedure. This reviewing process will be achieved in partnership with each group and an extension may be requested if so required.
