The Weavers’ Company Benevolent Fund's principal aim is to support people in trouble, particularly young offenders and ex-offenders, as well as other disadvantaged young people. Preference is given to pump-priming new projects, especially those that are innovative and can serve as a model elsewhere.
Projects which fulfil the funding criteria are short-listed, then visited by a member of the Company. These assessment visits give our younger members in particular an opportunity to become closely involved in the charitable work of the Company, which may lead to a mutually beneficial relationship with its beneficiaries.
Priorities for funding:
The Weavers’ Company Benevolent Fund Organisations fund: UK registered charities and charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs). In exceptional circumstances we may support Community Interest Companies (CICs)
The Charitable Grants Committee meets in February, June and October of each year.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for VCSE organisations to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Plan, including safer places and thriving communities.
This new grant round will support projects that enable people to access food, create opportunities for young people, improve people’s mental wellbeing, promote community cohesion and build sustainable futures.
The Young Women in Mind programme aims to help improve the mental health of women aged 16-25. Grants go to organisations that increase young women’s access to high quality, age and gender specific mental health services.
