The Trustees favour small-scale, locally based initiatives by charities with income under £250,000. Funding is primarily for one-off projects, but the Trustees are willing to consider funding for core costs. The Trustees give priority to causes which seem unpopular with public opinion and/or other funders. This trust has funded a variety of social projects.
Priorities are:
- Children and young people who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in anti-social behaviour.
- Prisoners and ex-offenders. Projects that help the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners and/or ex-offenders are supported as well as requests to help prisoners’ families
- Disadvantaged women, covering refuges, domestic violence and parenting.
- Disability projects, which can include rehabilitation and training for people who are either physically disabled or learning disabled.
- Arts outreach work by local groups involving disadvantaged people.
- Projects that promote integration and community cohesion amongst minority groups, including refugees and travellers.=
Grant Types:
- Larger grants, over £5,000
- Smaller grants, £100-£5,000
- Children’s summer play scheme grants £500-£1,000 (usually about 30-40 grants made in May each year on a one-off basis, deadline is April 1st)
