The Charles Hayward Foundation wish to fund preventative and early intervention programmes being delivered at the community level which allow older people to stay in their own homes and remain independent. The Foundation are interested in programmes which can demonstrate their effectiveness in improving the quality of life of older people. We favour projects that offer a consistent and sustained benefit rather than one-off events or short-lived activities.
The Foundation fund projects in the following sub-categories:
Our Community Access Support Bursary aims to help community-focused groups and organisations to access culture during Our Year, with bursaries up to £500 to access cultural events, places and activities.
Unrestricted grants for community and voluntary sports groups delivering activities for a social purpose to under-represented communities, this year's focus is on supporting adult clubs.
Grants of up to £20,000 are available for VCSE organisations to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan, including safer places and thriving communities.
