The Mustard Seed Programme has been designed to enable groups to turn their ideas into action. Any church or faith-based group can apply but they are particularly keen to hear from groups that have new ideas they really want to test and try out.

The Mustard Seed Grant Programme aims to 'Provide grants to enable churches and faith-based organisations to engage in social action through supporting them to initiate or develop community work.' This work will then enable groups to either undertake larger pieces of work or significantly improve the existing provision.

Grant requests up to £5,000 will be considered. This is a rolling programme where there are no deadline dates. Mustard Seed Grants can pay for specific activities but not for on-going revenue expenditure, existing salary costs, deficit funding, or retrospective spending.
