McCarthy Stone Foundation: Winter Warm Spaces Support Grants - 2023
Overview
Connection and engagement for older people is often dependent on access to a space suitable to host groups. They know that the costs of this are often a major expense for small community groups and charities, and that these costs have been rising recently.
This year their Foundation would like to provide some support for the many small clubs and organisations across the country providing a regular warm space for older people in their community to come together, for example, lunch clubs, coffee mornings, or memory cafes.
They are making £30,000 of funding available to those grassroots groups, often led by volunteers, who need a little extra help over the winter months.
- The funding will be awarded in grants of £750, meaning there are 40 grants available.
- Funding will be prioritised to grassroots groups with annual income less than £100,000 p.a. and less than 6 months of free reserves.
- To qualify, your club must be independent, with its own constitution and bank account.
They’re looking forward to reading about your work. regrettably due to the high volumes of applications we receive, it is not possible to provide individual feedback on each application.
