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 through this partnership programme to support not-for-profit organisations with local community projects that address social welfare and environmental issues.
Unrestricted grants for small charitable organisations (income under £1m) making a difference to their community for the benefit of people and planet.
Funding is available for both project and core costs. Supporting work with people in trouble, particularly young offenders and ex-offenders, as well as other disadvantaged young people.
