The Trustees favour small-scale, locally based initiatives. Funding is primarily for one-off projects, but the Trustees are willing to consider funding running costs (including core cost and salaries).
The grants available are:
• Small grants of between £100 - £5,000
• Large grants of over £5,000
The majority of grants are for less than £5,000.
Applications will only be considered if they fall within the following areas:
1. Children and young people who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in anti-social behaviour.
2. Minority groups including refugees, gypsies and travellers. Projects that promote integration and community cohesion will be favoured.
3. 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.
4. Disability projects which can include rehabilitation and training for people who are either physically disabled or learning disabled, as well as help to improve employment prospects.
5. Homelessness, especially affecting young people and women, and covering facilities such as women's refuges.
6. Arts outreach work by local groups for the benefit of disadvantaged people.
7. Environmental projects, especially with a strong educational element.
