Communities Together Grants

At Alliance we want our customers to have their say in how best to fund local improvements.

Our Communities Together Grants (CTG) are grants of between £50 to £7,500 that go directly to the areas we serve. What makes these grants so special is that it's our customers who make the decisions about who gets the funds.

Don't worry if you miss this round, there will be more chances to make applications in the future.

The Funding Panel

The CTG funding panel is a group of local customers who have a desire to see their local community grow. When the panel meets, they review applications and decide whether the application receives direct funding with some of the applications going to a public vote.  

Customer vote

For larger funding applications, the panel will shortlist the applications and the vote will be done through HIVE, our online customer engagement platform. So if you are an Alliance Homes customer and like a vote then join HIVE.
