Skipton Building Society – 2016 Grassroots Giving Programme

Skipton Building Society – 2016 Grassroots Giving Programme (England, Scotland & Wales). To celebrate its 163rd birthday, the Skipton Building Society will launch its Grantsroots Giving programme for 2016 on the 3rd May. Through the programme 163 community and voluntary groups around the country can win award of £500 to help them with their community work. The idea behind our Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. The programme is also able to fund projects within schools but this needs to be addition to its statutory services.

For example, last year's winners included the creation of a frog garden at St Anthony's School in Kent and the Friends of Luttons School (FOLS) who received funding to improve the outdoor learning areas within the school.

The closing date for applications will be 29th July 2016.

Following the application closing date, a shortlist of organisations will be compiled and listed on the Grassroots Giving website. The public will then be free to vote for their favourite organisation.
