Supporting Communities

Being a charitable organisation means that Portal can invest in its communities. If you are a organisation, group or individual wanting funding, Portal may be able to assist you.

The Community Fund

Through Portal's Community Fund, donations are made to organisations or groups each year.  These donations aim to support activities which improve the quality of life for residents in our homes.

Please note this scheme is at present only applicable to organisations or groups in the Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight areas where Portal has homes.

Kick Start - young residents funding

In April 2008, Portal launched its KICK START FUND for young residents aged 11 to 18 who have a particular interest or talent that they wish to develop.  A maximum bursary of £300 is available.

At present applications for this pilot scheme can be considered from residents living in the Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight areas where Portal Housing has homes.
