The Fund has allocated a small budget to help community groups run summer play schemes for disadvantaged communities. Some priority will be given to projects which show they are inclusive of children from refugee families, and show BME involvement.
The aim of The Hilden Charitable Fund is to address disadvantage, notably by supporting causes which are unlikely to raise funds from public subscription, known sometimes as 'unpopular causes.' Fund policy is directed largely at supporting work at a community level. Grants are rarely given to well funded national charities. Grants are not given to individuals.
The Trustees are looking to fund:
• Projects for children aged 5 to 16 years
• Locally based schemes lasting from 2 to 6 weeks
• Schemes with strong volunteer support
Applications are accepted from voluntary agencies with an income of less than £120,000.
