Introduction

The Tenants’ Action Group has allocated a proportion of their annual budget to provide grants to support organisations and projects, which seek to improve the lives, health and wellbeing of people aged 0 to 25 years old, whose families are housing tenants of the Somerset West and Taunton area. This is to help such organisations and projects to become more sustainable and more self-sufficient.

A grant application can be up to a maximum of £3,000, and there is no minimum financial limit.
