About Cornwall Community Development Limited

Cornwall Community Development Limited, operating as Cornwall Rural Community Charity (CRCC), is a community-focused organisation that aims to strengthen Cornish villages, towns, and rural areas. They work to make communities more vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive, with a strong emphasis on community-led solutions and partnership working. Their funding philosophy centres on supporting local groups and organisations that deliver clear benefit to the communities of Cornwall. CRCC is deeply rooted in local needs and operates exclusively within the county, acting as an umbrella body for the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector.

What Cornwall Community Development Limited funds

CRCC funds a range of initiatives including community development, education and skills, digital inclusion, and capital improvements for village halls and community centres. They prioritise projects that tackle digital exclusion through a community asset-based approach, such as developing creative technology hubs. They also run a competitive scheme for village hall renovation and improvement, which requires match funding. All funded work must take place in Cornwall and benefit local rural communities.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants include community groups, village halls, and community centres based or working in Cornwall. The funder prioritises small, grassroots organisations that deliver clear local benefit over large national bodies. There is no religious restriction on applicants. Organisations must be working within the county to be considered for support.

How they like to fund

CRCC offers grants for equipment, project delivery, and capital works. Their village hall capital grants require match funding. They welcome unsolicited applications for specific programmes when they are open.
