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.
Funding for collaborations led by small charities seeking to influence change around improving the social security system, improving access to suitable accommodation, and support for asylum seekers and refugees.
The Foundation provides unrestricted grants to charities and CIOs to support their work that helps prevent and tackle the consequences of adverse childhood experiences.
The Charitable Foundation are funding registered charities for their work around two themes: a place to call home, and financial wellbeing.
