Eligible applicants include registered charities and voluntary organisations with annual expenditure under £1 million and at least three years of operational history. Funding can cover project costs, capital purchases, and core costs. Applications under £1,000 are considered on a rolling basis, while those above that amount are reviewed by a grants committee. The next deadline is 4:00 pm on 7 August 2026. Applications should be submitted by contacting Pete Yarwood on 07936 917679 or by email at pete.yarwood@charityservice.org.uk.
