Grants for projects and core costs are available for charities seeking to enhance and improve people’s lives through advancing the arts, health and medical welfare, and the environment. Services could include promoting access to the arts, conservation, music and art therapy to improve mental health and wellbeing, and providing breaks for carers.
The Trustees will consider applications for core costs or projects and are very conscious of the work involved in applying for a grant and encourage charities to consider whether their work aligns with the Trust’s priorities for the next three years before submitting an application.
The Trustees meet three times a year, usually in March, July and November to agree awards.
