Community groups are being encouraged to apply for grants of up to £1,000, offered by East Cambridgeshire District Council.
The groups can spend the money on new or existing projects designed to improve the quality of life for residents.
Little Miracles, a charity that supports families with children that have additional needs, disabilities or life limiting conditions, was one of the successful applicants in the last round of grants.
Michelle King, CEO of Little Miracles, explains: "The grant funding has helped provide for the venue costs of our youth club in Littleport, which is specifically designed for children aged 8 and over with additional needs. The club provides a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where young people can relax, make friends, and build confidence.
"With few opportunities locally for children with additional needs to access youth provision, our club helps reduce isolation, supporting positive mental health, and gives both the children and their families a much-needed sense of belonging.
"Our weekly club offers a wide range of activities such as arts and crafts, games, sensory play, life skills sessions, and themed events, all delivered in a space adapted to suit a variety of needs.
"We welcome families with disabled children from across the East Cambs district, with 15 to 30 people attending each week, which demonstrates the ongoing demand for a service like ours."
Successful applicants in the last round of grants also included Stretham Youth Centre for their Youth Breakout 25 life and social skills development club, and PosAbility, to provide chair-based exercise sessions for people living with long-term neurological conditions, such as strokes, Parkinson's and reduced mobility.
Councillor Julia Huffer, Chair of the Operational Services Committee, said: "This grant enables community groups in East Cambs to offer new and existing support and services to ensure our residents feel included in activities.
"Receiving this grant can be the extra boost a local community group needs to successfully deliver their projects or launch an exciting new initiative. We would urge community groups to apply to the fund for their projects or events."
The East Cambridgeshire Community Fund will be open to applications between 31 October and 12 December 2025.
Applying for this grant is simple, information about the grant including eligibility criteria and application guidance can be found on our community fund page.
