The Directory of Grant Making Trusts
This guide offers the information you need to seek a share of over £5 billion – the annual total awarded by the 2,000 funders featured in this edition. With data sourced directly from grant-making charities, each with the potential to give at least £40,000 per year, no charity – big or small – should be without it.

Localgiving has once again partnered with the Postcode Community Trust to offer over 400 grants of £500 to small charities and community groups across the UK through its Magic Little Grants Fund.
The Magic Little Grants Fund is open to local charities and community groups who are either in their first year of operation or have an annual income under £50,000 – with priority to organisations with an annual income below £20,000. The grants will provide unrestricted funding to deliver sports and physical activities that help to overcome barriers to participation, and increase social cohesion.
More than 400 grants are available and applications are open until 31 October. You can find out more here.
The annual Team London Awards celebrate the individuals, groups, charitable projects and corporate volunteers who are making outstanding contributions and helping to make London the best it can be.
Each day, tens of thousands of volunteers help charities to deliver their services. The Awards is one of the ways the Mayor recognises some of those volunteers who go above and beyond to create better local communities.
This year’s categories focus on the Mayor’s priority areas of social integration, social mobility and community engagement. The deadline for nominations is 25 July 2018, with the ceremony taking place on 15 October in the Chamber at City Hall. Find out more here and nominate!

The last POPS meeting had an interesting presentation from the Frequent Attenders Project, which works with a small cohort of people with multiple and complex issues, including mental health needs, who are frequent attenders at local hospitals and A&E. The service has achieved a 70% reduction of hospital presentations, through a wide ranging support service, which supports clients with physical and mental health management, and addresses a wide range of other issues including housing, social care, welfare benefits and isolation.

The next POPS forum will be held on Monday 18th June at Bishop Creighton House, 10am – 12pm

Hammersmith and Fulham’s ICP Programme is working to improve health and well-being outcomes for local people by integrating care around individuals’ needs. When we talk about integrating care, we mean that a group of existing, local organisations need to work more closely together to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in H&F.
Our work with the NHS “Integrated Care Partnerships” began with a series of workshops earlier in the year, which explored how the ICP could better engage with the local 3rd sector. The workshops were well attended, with more than 30 organisations participating and contributing to the discussion and shaping the proposal for how the 3rd sector could be supported and involved in the ICP programme. We are delighted that the ICP has agreed the proposal, which includes Sobus operating as the information hub for ICP, facilitating and inviting your input and contributions, and providing feedback through our website, newsletter and networks.
