What is North Somerset Community Partnership Fund?
The Fund has been set up by Quartet Community Foundation and North Somerset Community Partnership to support community-based organisations responding to the health and wellbeing of disadvantaged local people in North Somerset.
Please note: The funds available for this programme are limited, so we can’t approve every application. We aim to fully fund a request, but may occasionally award partial funding where a contribution would still be valuable. Currently, our average grant awarded for this programme is around £11,800.
What you can apply for
Your work/activity must benefit the health or wellbeing of people in North Somerset who are disadvantaged. The grant Programme particularly seeks to support local voluntary and community groups and organisations in North Somerset that:
- Support people to improve their health or social and environmental wellbeing
- Support early intervention and prevention around health and wellbeing, including mental health
- Support health and wellbeing organisations to plan for the future of their organisations, aiding long term sustainability and including core costs
- Support health and wellbeing initiatives, including sports facilities for schools
- Support health and wellbeing organisations through the cost of living crisis
You can see examples of grants we awarded last round through our July 2025 grants awarded list.
Who can apply
Voluntary, community, charity and social enterprise organisations providing health & wellbeing services. Beneficiaries must be in North Somerset and applicants ideally will also be based and working in North Somerset.
We encourage applications from:
- Small organisations where a small amount of funding can make a big difference
- Partnerships that involve shared responsibility for the development and delivery of an activity
- Larger organisations delivering services which fill the gaps between commissioned services
- Organisations providing health & wellbeing services including prevention and early intervention, and self-care
- Groups who are working collaboratively or in partnership
