Funding

The scheme is intended to support smaller charitable organisations undertaking projects for young people, the disabled, terminally ill patients and others in need. The main objective of the Trustees' grant-making is to improve lives and to lift people's aspirations.

Community Grants are designed to aid and bolster the growth of smaller local charitable organisations directly serving beneficiaries. Although there's no strict size requirement, these organizations typically have an income/expenditure ranging from £100,000 to £500,000 annually and have been operational for at least three years.

The Foundation awards grants for projects concerning Older People.

The funding is for charitable work that supports the Foundation's current priorities.

Small grants are available for UK registered charities that are concerned with health research and care for patients who have cancer, multiple sclerosis or other diseases and disabilities; as well as institutions that care for older people; and children's charities in the UK.

The Foundation aims to make a difference to the lives of older people and other adults with a physical, learning or mental disability; supporting practical solutions that lead to increased personal independence, self-sufficiency and dignity. The aim of this fund is on connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community. Applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged will receive highest priority.

The Foundation is dedicated to supporting disadvantaged children and young people, as well as vulnerable older people, in England and Wales. Their Charity Grants programme is open to registered charities in England and Wales working with any of their four main priority groups: - People with dementia and their carers. - Children affected by domestic abuse. - Early years. - Children with special educational needs and disabilities. Small grants are for charities whose annual income is between £25,000 and £500,000. These grants are unrestricted. Small grants range from £1,000-£5,000 per year, for up to three years. Large grants are for larger charities whose annual income is between £500,000 and £10 million. They must be restricted to a project. Large grants usually range from £10,000 to £60,000. They can be awarded over one to three years.

The Foundation makes grants to voluntary not-for-profit organisations in the UK for work which benefits groups of people who are under-represented in UK society. Overall, the Foundation wishes to fund work which: · Will make a lasting difference to people's lives rather than simply alleviating the symptoms or current problems. · Is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma and discrimination. · Encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community.

This Small Grants Scheme is designed to support charities registered and operating in the United Kingdom, especially those working at grass roots and local community level, in any field, across a wide range of activities. Online applications can be accepted from charities that have an annual turnover of less than £150,000 per annum. Larger or national charities will normally not be considered under this scheme. The focus will be to make one-year grants only to cover core costs or essential equipment, to enable ongoing service provision, homeworking, or delivery of online digital services to charities that can show financial stability. The priority will be to support local charities still active in their communities which are currently delivering services to the young, vulnerable, elderly, disadvantaged or the general community either directly or through online support if possible.

Launched in April 2024, the Movement Fund offers crowdfunding pledges, grants and resources to improve physical activity opportunities for the people and communities who need it the most. If your project aligns with Sport England priorities, they can fund a wide range of costs and items up to £15,000. Their focus is to support projects that match their goal of getting more people active, reducing the number of inactive people and tackling inequalities.

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).
