As part of its continued commitment to support carers, Manchester City Council is aiming to provide investment in 2016/17 through the Directorate for Children and Families Carers Funding programme.
This investment will assist in carers being identified early and the provision of support to enable the carers to maintain a balance between their caring responsibilities and a life outside caring, whilst enabling the person they support to be a full and equal citizen.
Community Plus grants of up to £5,000 are available for local charities or local projects of national charities with funding available to cover salaries, equipment or materials. Grants must directly help disadvantaged people in your local area. Santander wants to fund an entire element rather than make a contribution to a larger budget.
Skills for Care is making user led organisation (ULO) grant funding available again for 2016-17. The grant is available to deliver training or organise, purchase and support training, for people who employ their own care and support staff (individual employers). The learning delivered may include, but will not be restricted to, accredited health and social care qualifications.

The Trustees are looking to fund:
• Projects for children aged 5 to 18 years
• Locally based schemes lasting from 2 to 6 weeks
• Schemes with strong volunteer support
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group’s Community Grants Panel is looking for new applications from the community and voluntary groups in Wythenshawe by the end of March 2016.
Last year the panel awarded over £45,000 to various local Community Groups in Wythenshawe who benefited from a grant.
Senior Community Investment Manager Sarah Woolley said: “Last year we were able to help lots of community groups in Wythenshawe and there are still funds available in 2016. So please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you think your group can benefit from this scheme”.
Gift Aid is a tax relief. It allows individual taxpayers to give a sum of money to a charity or Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC), which is treated as being paid to the charity net of basic rate income tax.
The Government is keen to understand your experience of operating the scheme.
The results of a survey run by the Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and the Small Charities Coalition (SCC) shows that almost half of respondents are ‘not very familiar’ or ‘not at all familiar’ with the review of fundraising self-regulation conducted last summer.
