The GAMP Project Callout is now open.
Great Aycliffe & Middridge Partnership (GAMP) are pleased to launch the GAMP Project Callout for 2023-24, to provide one-off grants towards projects that address our key priority this year, which is ‘Community Recovery’.
GAMP covers the whole of Great Aycliffe including the Parish of Middridge, Aycliffe Village, Woodham and part of School Aycliffe. Prospective projects MUST take place within these communities.
Grants of between £5,000 – £15,000 are available for project applications which support our key ‘Community Recovery’ priority (anyone applying for a project over £10,000 MUST have a minimum of £5,000 capital expenditure included in the project).
Funding can be spent on either capital or revenue costs, but projects which include a specific element of capital spend are strongly encouraged. If you are in doubt about what constitutes capital expenditure, please contact the GAMP Team for advice.
The focus for the GAMP Board this year will be on an overarching ‘Community Recovery’ priority theme, and projects should aim to address at least one of the following key issues:
• Employability initiatives;
• Advice and Guidance;
• Mental Health & Wellbeing;
• Organisational sustainability;
• Food provision and support;
• Social Isolation;
• Support for the Voluntary and Community
Sector;
• Tackling antisocial behaviour;
• Support to small businesses (through a
third party, not-for-profit organisation to
complement existing DCC and external
opportunities);
• Emerging Community Issues;
• Targeting Older People’s Social Isolation;
• Providing positive and sound outcomes in
relation to the Welfare Reform Agenda
and the impact of Welfare Reform on
individuals or communities.
The GAMP team will be available for advice and guidance to help those who want to apply or would like to find out more about the process. Prospective projects should have a planned start date no earlier than November 2023 to allow time for applications to be processed and appraised.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 2nd June 2023. Please contact us for an application pack, or if you’d like further information, email: gampaap@durham.gov.uk or telephone 07834 147211.
