Our Grants Program is now closed for the remainder of 2024.
Due to the high number of Grant Applications that we have received and awarded during the first few months of the year our Grants Programme is now closed for the remainder of 2024.
During the year, the Charity is planning to take the opportunity to review our Grants Strategy and the Application process. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes to organisations who apply for grants from us and look forward to receiving new applications in late 2025.
Please keep an eye on the website for any new information.
