Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) is committed to improving not just the homes  of our customers but also their quality of life. As part of our efforts to  achieve this aim we have created a £100,000 Tenants Project Fund which will support projects that genuinely make a difference to the lives of our customers and the neighbourhoods in which they live.

What is the Tenants Project Fund (TPF)?

The Tenants Project Fund (TPF) is a Blackpool Coastal Housing (BCH) grants scheme aimed at providing improved services to Council tenants and leaseholders and community development activities that would have a significant positive impact on Council tenants and leaseholders.

The aim of the Tenants Project Fund is:

To have a significant positive impact on the lives of Blackpool Council tenants / leaseholders and meet at least one of the following BCH corporate objectives:
1. To provide our customers with high quality homes and services that represent
excellent value for money.
2. To empower our customers, ensuring that they are placed at the heart of
everything we do.
3. To contribute to the wider regeneration of Blackpool; creating jobs and opportunities
for local people and improving the health and wellbeing of residents.
4. To reduce our impact on the environment.

Who can apply?

You can apply to the TPF if you are:
•A voluntary or community organisation
•A Public Service
•A Charitable Organisation
•A Local Ward Councillor
•An Area Forum or an Area Panel
•An individual tenant or leaseholder

You will be required to demonstrate significant local support for your project from Blackpool Council tenants and leaseholders or BCH affiliated Tenant & Resident Associations.

In order to receive the grant directly you must:
•Have a bank account that requires at least two people who are unrelated and do not
live at the same address to sign each cheque or make a withdrawal
•Have a governing body with at least three unrelated members
•Be able to finish your project within one year of receipt of the award
•Be the same organisation applying for the grant, receiving the grant and responsible
for spending the grant.

We do not award grants to:
