Helping people to shape their lives
We are delighted to announce that we are extending the partnership with the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington and the Earl of Northampton’s Charity The funding will enable us to increase our support to people aged 55 and older who live in London through the funding from the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington or in Norfolk, through the funding from the Earl of Northampton’s Charity. This will enable those people to adjust to the challenges of ageing and lead a fulfilling life.
Due to locally reported incidents of Covid-19 we are self-isolating the Glasspool office initially for one week, from 16 to 20 March 2020.
We are pleased to announce that we have published our 2018/19 impact report.
With the closure of a large number of local authority welfare schemes, the vital safety net for many has disappeared. This leaves them in challenging situations, without access to the most basic items necessary for a safe and comfortable home life. That is why we award small one-off grants for essential household items and clothing. We make no restrictions on who we award our grants to, so long as they are legally resident in the UK.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with GrantsPlus (our grants management system) which has resulted in the server going offline. We expect the problem to be resolved by Wednesday (5th February 2020) or sooner. Unfortunately, we are unable to review your applications during this period. We apologise for any inconvenience caused whilst the system is offline.
We are delighted to announce our partnership with The Newby Trust (the Trust).
From July 2019 to June 2020, we will be administering the Trust’s small grants programme (£50,000) allocating grants for individuals in need in accordance with the Trust’s criteria.
