Funding

Grants are available to local charities delivering community benefit projects in the North West of England.

Funding is provided to UK registered charities benefit one or more of the following groups: · Disadvantaged/underprivileged young people (under 25years old). · People with disabilities (physical or learning disabilities or mental health problems). · Older people (aged over 60).

There's a wide range of funding programmes and activities. Their fundamental aim is to improve the civic health of society, mainly through education and research. More specifically, they support excellence in the fields of education, science & medicine, health & disability, and heritage, humanities & the arts.

We provide a range of grants for organisations that make a positive difference to those in need. Areas of support include poverty, homelessness, health and wellbeing, education and training. We also provide smaller grants to individuals requiring specialised disability equipment. Our eligibility checker below will help you quickly determine your eligibility to apply for one of our grants and, once an application has been made, our friendly team will support you through the process.

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.
