The Trust aims is to contribute to and promote the excellent work which is being undertaken across the charitable sector. It provides long-term core funding to small charities and run an Awards programme for individuals and groups committed to social, cultural and environmental causes.
It supports around 350 charities every year through its grants programme and gives around 80 different awards to individuals and groups from across the charity sector. It maintains a policy of making a comparatively large number of modest grants each year.
Groundwork is delivering these community grants, designed to support unemployed and/or economically inactive people with complex barriers to move towards employment and digital inclusion.
These grants support projects that meet health and wellbeing related needs, and build strength within communities. We'll be offering grants up to £10,000 with possibility of two year funding.
A wide range of UK registered charities based and working in the UK can apply for one-off grants of up to £5,000 for garden projects or up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects.
