Grants for wellbeing activities
We can help you to apply for grants that could help you to run activites in your community that can boost resident wellbeing, and make a real difference to those living in your local area.
For example, this year we've helped residents secure grants that have allowed them to:
- Arrange a community event, activity or project which will benefit fellow residents
- Access educational funding that helped towards course fees, equipment and books
- Improve their community through gardening projects (contributing towards the cost of seeds, pots, tools and plants).
If you'd like to discuss any grant opportunities available to you then please get in touch and one of the team will be able to advise further.

*Please note, we regret we are not currently running any face-to-face activities for residents living in homes in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Southern Housing formed in 2022 following the merger of Southern Housing Group (SHG) and Optivo and we are in the process of reviewing our wider service offer for residents living in these areas.
