  • Tenant and Resident Associations. 

These groups must operate in areas where there are Regenda properties. You can see where our houses are in each region: 

I’m based somewhere else, can I apply?

Unfortunately, not. We are only looking for projects that will bring a direct benefit to our residents and their neighbourhoods. 

What projects are we looking for?

We are looking to fund projects based on things like: 

  • Physical wellbeing 
  • Mental health 
  • Social connection 
  • Financial wellbeing 
  • Work and skills. 

If your idea helps bring people together, improves wellbeing, or supports the community in a positive way, we’d love to hear about it. 

What we can’t support

There are a few things we can't support, like:  

  • Individuals, salaries or loans
  • One‑off trips, vehicles or transport
  • School applications, sports team kits or running costs
  • Medical research or animal welfare projects
  • Political or religious promotion
  • Any project or costs spent before the grant is confirmed. 

If you're unsure whether your idea fits, you can still get in touch and ask. 

If you would like to check whether your application is eligible for funding, or you have any questions, please contact us: getinvolved@regenda.org.uk
