Message from May King, Project Sponsor for A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet Improvements Scheme
Dear all,
Good morning and I hope you’re staying safe and well. We’re excited to share that applications are once again open for our legacy-focused funds, designed to support communities connected to the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet Improvements. With a total investment of £2 million, this initiative is all about creating a lasting, positive impact across Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
Our goal is to ensure the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet Improvements bring far-reaching benefits to local people, communities, the environment, and the economy. The two funds available are:
• A social value fund with grants of between £15,000 and £200,000. Expressions of interest are being accepted from today, Thursday 1 May 2025, until Tuesday 15 July 2025.
• A community fund with grants of up to £15,000. This fund is managed by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation with applications welcomed from Friday 2 May 2025 until Friday 1 August 2025.
Since launching the two funds, we’ve had the privilege of awarding more than £1 million to 32 remarkable organisations across Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. The good news doesn’t stop there – we’ll soon be sharing news of the projects we’ve funded from our winter 2024/25 application window.
Our funds are open to local authorities and non-for-profit groups or organisations in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire, including but not limited to local schools, charities, community groups, and environmental groups. Discover more about these funding opportunities on our scheme’s website. If you’re championing a great initiative or know of one that could use a boost, these funds can help bring a project to life.
King regards,
May King, Project Sponsor
