- Registered charities.
- Voluntary and community groups.
- Social enterprises.
- Co-operatives.
- Community Interest Companies.
- Tenants and resident associations.
- Faith and equality groups.

Requirements
All groups must have a UK based bank account and accountable sign-off procedures. The council does not normally award grants to organisations in poor financial health or with overdue legal obligations, e.g. those operating at a loss, or those who have not made on-time returns to the Charity Commission or Companies House.
