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:
Grants are available for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects with a positive impact for communities along the East Coast mainline route.
Grants are available for not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects and activities that support LGBT+ young people’s needs as they grow into adulthood.
The Creating Connections Grant Programme will be awarding 20+ grants of up to £7,500 to charities and community groups who are helping to reduce loneliness and isolation for the over 65s.
