There is over £17,000 of funding available to residents groups, community groups, charitable organisations or social enterprises working in the areas where Adactus manage homes.

The Thomas Wall Trust will consider grants of up to £1,000 for smaller charities active in serving the social and/or educational needs of their communities, especially where a grant can make a real impact in improving the lives of local people.

The Trust will consider applications from registered charities who:
• Have an annual income of less than £200,000
• Serve the social and/or educational needs of their communities
• Are able to make a real impact in improving the lives of local people.
