Apply for funding through Durham AAP
Each year Durham AAP receives funding through its Area Budget.
For 2024/25 the AAP has £110,000 that can be used to support local organisations. There has been an overwhelming response to the availability of the funding which means most of the Area Budget has now been allocated or pipelined. Therefore the AAP will not be accepting any more applications for its Area Budget.
