Through Big Local we invite and support local groups and clubs to share resources, and when they need funding we encourage them to apply to other sources. Dudley CVS provides free support to groups seeking help with this.
Coseley Cricket Cub have were helped to find and secure funds for a mower and Bayer Street Allotments successfully applied to the Big Lottery for their composting toilet. We recognise that it is getting harder to secure funding, and for groups and clubs who have applied elsewhere we will consider funding activities and equipment which benefit residents of East Coseley.
If you are involved in a local group or club and would like support from East Coseley Big Local you can fill in the form below to let us know more. Local residents from the Big Local Core Group have formed a Project Investment Team which oversees allocations of Big Local budget to local groups and clubs. There is £8,000 per year in this budget. You can find out more about ways groups have been supported in our updates.

What happens next
- Once a month groups submitting requests for support will be contacted by Lorna from Dudley CVS about how their request will be taken forward.
- A Project Investment Team made up of local residents from the Big Local Core Group consider requests.
- They may ask to meet you to chat through your request (don’t worry, it’s friendly and informal, a chance to get to know you), or they may consider your request by email.
- If a request for funding is approved a Fund Agreement Form will be emailed or posted to you.
- Payment of the fund will be made to you within 5 working days of receipt of your signed Fund Agreement Form.
- Please do not spend on any items before you receive the payment. This is really important and is to do with how Big Local funding works.
