Overview
The Children’s Health Fund makes thematic grants twice a year focussed on children’s health and wellbeing and food education. The Children’s Health Fund splits the UK into 12 regions for the purposes of judging. One of these is "Northern Ireland".
They believe that no child should go hungry, and we recognise that for some children during the school holidays there is a vital food provision gap that needs filling.
The Children’s Health Fund is inviting organisations that want to provide good food as part of holiday learning, play and activity programmes to apply for funding between £1,000 and £5,000. We expect funding applications at the higher end of our scale (£5,000) will be for projects looking to expand their work
