APPLICATIONS OPEN FOR SECOND ROUND OF BELFAST HARBOUR’S 2026 COMMUNITY AWARDS PROGRAMME
Belfast Harbour has opened the second round of its 2026 Community Awards, inviting grassroots organisations across Belfast and beyond to apply for individual grants of up to £5,000.
A total of £110,000 is being offered through the Community Awards programme during 2026. The awards are a key part of the Trust Port’s wider Community Fund Programme, which will see Belfast Harbour make a record investment of £350,000 in community and charity-based initiatives over the course of the year.
The Belfast Harbour Community Awards scheme was launched in 2021 and has since supported more than 150 projects that strengthen communities, champion the environment, develop employability and skills, and create opportunities for local people to thrive. Recipients have included sporting clubs and community gardens, projects supporting people with disabilities, and arts and theatre programmes for young people.
The opening of the second funding round follows the allocation of £50,000 of grants to 15 organisations through the first round of the 2026 programme.
Details on how to apply are available on the Belfast Harbour Community Awards webpage or by emailing [email protected].
Applications close on Friday 25 September 2026.
