In partnership with **Birmingham City Council** and **Heart of England Foundation Trust**, **Birmingham LGBT** has launched a new pilot project to fund LGBTQ+ community groups in **Birmingham**. As part of the **NNS Connected Communities Microfund**, grassroots LGBTQ+ community groups in the city can apply for **up to £500** to fund their activities, and become part of Birmingham’s **Neighbourhood Network Scheme Connected Communities**.

As well as funding, this scheme offers a package of support, including: **information and support** to set up or develop group activities, **access to training and networking events**, and **connections with other funds and funders**, including Heart of England Community Foundation grants.

The scheme is open to applications from already existing groups as well as those who want to set up a group. If you are based in Birmingham and you’re interested in this project then get in touch with **Maria Hughes** at Birmingham LGBT: **[marihughes@blgbt.org](mailto:marihughes@blgbt.org)** or call **0121 643 0821**.
