The scheme is keen to support applications that are:
- Accessible to all third sector organisations that deliver health and wellbeing activities to their local communities.
- Collaborative in their approach, encouraging groups to work together to deliver projects, and encouraging groups to engage with their users to assess what they need.
- Inclusive to all groups within the communities of Powys - both geographical and communities of interest.
- Innovative in their nature, encouraging organisations to think differently and deliver in a different way.
- Sustainable in looking at the long term impact, and utilising funds to the best possible benefit of organisations and the funder.
Groups can apply for up to 3 calendar years funding for capital and revenue funding:
- First year funding is paid upfront, with subsequent years funding, dependent on satisfactory reporting, at the end of the grant year.

- The maximum grant available is £2500 per year.
