Greggs Foundation - Local Communities Projects Fund
The Greggs Foundation's Community Projects Fund is inviting applications for grants of up to £2,000 to not-for-profit organisations across Great Britain. Funding will support projects or equipment for those in need at the heart of local communities.
Projects can support a variety of people:
• Disabled or suffering chronic illness.
• Living in poverty.
•Voluntary carers.
• Homeless.
• Isolated older people.
• Other demonstrable significant need.
Eligible projects should also be able to demonstrate that they have achieved at least one of the following Key Performance Targets for their beneficiaries:
• Decreased social isolation.
• Improved health and wellbeing.
• Improved resilience/coping mechanisms.
• Improved life skills.
• Improved opportunities.
The Local Community Projects Fund is administered by seven charity committees throughout Great Britain. Please note that the programme is 'highly over-subscribed' and there is 'huge competition' for the grants available.
The next deadline for applications is 9 March 2018.
