Opening Date for the 2026‑2 Funding Round

16/02/2026

As part of our transition to a new grant management system, we will be making some short‑term adjustments to our application timetable. To ensure the new portal and the updated application form are fully tested and ready to use, the opening date for both the FCC Community Action Fund 2026‑2 and the SWS Community Action Fund 2026-2 round have been amended.

New opening date: 4 March 2026

The round will now open on 4 March 2026, rather than 25 February 2026. This brief delay allows us to finalise the new portal and update our applicant guidance so you have the best possible experience when applying.

Further details on how to access the new grant management portal, and updated guidance will be issued shortly.
