The Cabinet Office is inviting voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisations to apply for grants of £50,000 or more to support projects that will improve the lives of unpaid family carers in England.

The Fund is aimed at organisations with plans to expand or develop ambitious social action projects that will help to improve the lives of carers. (A carer is anyone who looks after, unpaid, a friend or family member who cannot cope without their support. This may be due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction.)

Grow Your Tenner will launch at 10am on Tuesday 14 October.

Throughout the campaign, Local Giving will be matching one-time donations pound-for-pound up to £10, and monthly donations up to £10 per month for 6 months.

All charities with active memberships are eligible to receive match funding, and the campaign will run across the whole of the UK.

Friends of Hough End Hall is raising money for heritage activities (heritage walk, book: “Hough End Hall, the Story”, interactive website, mobile exhibition) connected with Hough End Hall.

Although the successful completion will not depend on them being able to purchase the Hall, it will however contribute to positioning the Hall as a key part of the Chorlton and South Manchester heritage – and show the level of community support for the idea, essential for our big Heritage Lottery Fund bid.
