Funding

The Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest collaborative fundraising campaign, championing a wide range of charitable organisations. Whatever the cause, from global poverty to gender equality, from climate change to mental wellbeing, every donation has the power to be doubled. Enabling thousands of charities to make an even bigger difference.

Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity that supports children from birth up to 18 years old across the UK. The children's mental health grant is part of the General Grant programme, looking to address areas like poverty, mental health and wellbeing, sport and physical wellbeing, disability or life-limiting illness, education and essential skills, and diversity and inclusion.

The trust makes grants to a wide range of charitable organisations and the trustees' preference is to support registered charities in the north west of England for mental health and mental disability projects where expertise in this area and financial stability can be demonstrated. While not excluding large UK-wide charities, the trust normally only makes grants to such organisations where there are strong relationships in the north west of England and the proposal has the potential to achieve a substantial impact.

We award funding for charitable purposes across the UK. Our focus is on funding specific groups that experience marginalisation and/or discrimination and we currently make grants through seven funding programmes. Applications open all year round.
