The Community Fund is run by Parklife in collaboration with Manchester, Bury and Rochdale councils. It is the result of the festival’s approach to partnership working with the three local authorities and has made over £286,000 from the 2017-2022 festivals available for the benefit of community groups (priority is given to groups and projects that utilise parks and open spaces and / or work with young people).
