Grant News
Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby, has launched a new “Pass the Plate” appeal to support food projects for vulnerable children and young people. The campaign will raise funds for grants to organisations tackling child hunger and helping children to thrive.
Grants will be available for not-for-profit groups and schools running food-related initiatives for children and young people up to age 25. Eligible projects are expected to include breakfast clubs, food banks, holiday hunger schemes and other community-based programmes that improve access to regular, nutritious meals for families in need.
The appeal aims to generate significant new funding over the coming months, with donations from the public, corporate partners and sports supporters. Once raised, the money will be distributed as grants to projects across the UK and Ireland that can demonstrate clear impact for disadvantaged children.
Organisations interested in applying are encouraged to check Wooden Spoon’s grant-making criteria and be ready to evidence need, outline their delivery plans and show how their project will benefit children facing poverty or food insecurity. Full guidance and application information are available on the charity’s website.
