Want to make a difference to your community? Think you have a great idea but no funds to get your project up and running?

New For MSV The Rob Ferguson fund is a programme that offers funds to individuals and groups working in MSV’s communities and neighbourhoods. This fund offers cash and direct support to initiatives that improve people's lives and the places where they live.

We want to hear about your ideas.

What do I need to apply?

All you need is a great idea that connects direct to MSV customers. Please see a list of our areas here

What sort of projects get funding?

We are open to your ideas.

  • Green up where you live - this could range from growing your own food to creating a garden that’s worthy of a ‘Britain in Bloom’ award.
  • Reaching out to the isolated and vulnerable - Like the elderly and young people living on their own.
  • Improve safety in your neighbourhood through an activity for young people that uncaps their potential.
  • Improve health - through things like armchair fitness classes, a community boot camp, a sports event or an outdoor pursuit.
  • Bringing people together - it could be the old and young, it could be different community groups. The end result is the same. Building a stronger, happier, harmonious place for people to thrive
  • Tackle poverty - You can cook & eat healthy on a budget.
  • Get skills and improve individual capability.
  • Improve life chances or peoples wellbeing.
  • Step up through employment, entrepreneurship and training.

How much can I apply for?

We look at every idea on its own merits. We don’t want barriers to your ideas. Don’t worry about how much you’re asking for. Just send your idea in.
