Specific Charitable Projects
We make grants for the relief of need to other charities and organisations, particularly those benefitting older people and those with connections to the Society of Friends. These grants may be made to any charity situated in Suffolk, Essex or any London borough; or any charity established in England and Wales which is primarily for the benefit of people normally resident in Suffolk, Essex or any London borough. We do not make grants for running costs.
Recent awards have included payments towards:
- Providing disabled people, their families and carers with free impartial advice and information
- Assisting frail, elderly and/or disabled veterans
- Helping struggling carers to access specialist information and support
- Providing warm and healthy meals to homeless and lonely people
Most awards are in the range £500 to £1,000. In the last financial year, the total distribution was in the region of £20,000.
To be considered for an award, charities must contact us by email or letter, by 15th September with full information about the project for which they are seeking funding and enclose a copy of their latest accounts.
Applications for an award are considered in the autumn of each year and payments are made in December.
