Doncaster’s Choose Kindness movement celebrates and champions kindness across the city. There‘s no limit to the benefits of choosing kindness and the difference this makes to people, place and planet.
The Community Development Support (CDS) fund looks to support the Choose Kindness movement by funding inclusive activities that create community cohesion, understanding and respect. These could be new activities and projects, or extending current provision to residents.
For example, these projects could include, but are not limited to: improving digital skills, mental health and wellbeing activities, culture and heritage sessions, employment and housing support, or arts and crafts activities.
You can find out how to apply and more about the grant on the Choose Kindness webpage [
].
