Since its inception in 2011 we are very proud to have awarded more than £150k to over 260 community groups \ organisations the length and breadth of the country. In addition to our average £500 application we have also been making made significant single donations from our Bursary to various charities since 2018, our largest being £13k for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland, £6k to Age Concern and various other worthwhile contributions to deserving groups.
Funding is provided to groups who can demonstrate they’re making a vital difference in their communities. There’s no lengthy application process, groups simply have to show us how they’re making life better for individuals and families.
This year we have awarded donations to 30 community groups \ organisations from our main fund.
