UK charities and social enterprises supporting children and young people, disadvantaged families, prisoners, and ex-offenders can apply for funding to help cover their core costs. Small grants of up to £3,000 and large grants of over £3,000 are available. However, only a few large grants are awarded. The funding will support small-scale, local initiatives that make good use of volunteers, encourage past and current users to participate, and ensure that funds awarded will promote community cohesion and the development of skills that will change the outlook and outcomes for their users. Preference is given to small to medium-sized charities where small grants can have more impact. The funding is being made available through the Woodward Charitable Trust which will accept applications until 12pm on the 26th July 2024. Funding to Support Core Costs of Small Charities (UK)
