Funding Friday

Tesco Stronger Starts

Are you part of a school or PTA/PTFA or a group or club looking for funding? Maybe a sports club, cadet group, scouting, guiding or music group? Or part of a local food bank?

Tesco Stronger Starts is open to charities and community organisations to apply for a grant of up to £1,500. Every three months, three local good causes are selected to be in the blue token customer vote in Tesco stores throughout the UK.

(If you have applied before, as long as you have spent your grant money, completed and returned your completion report, you can apply again).

The funding aims to make a positive difference – because where our communities thrive, our business and our colleagues thrive too

Your local community Enabler for Groundwork South, is here to help with guidance on your application and help with questions you may have (for free).

Woodward Charitable Trust

The Woodward Charitable Trust only makes grants for core costs rather than specific projects as they recognise that smaller charities can find these hard to fund. They hope that this will have a more direct impact on the organisations that they choose to fund.

Trustees only fund organisations that support at least one of the following three target groups and particularly look to fund projects that help families and young people and that are aiming to improve the life chances of their beneficiaries.

  • Children and Young People (up to 25 years)
  • Disadvantaged Families
  • Prisoners and Ex-Offenders

Most grants are up to £3000 but usually less than £1000. This grant round closes 12pm on Friday 13th December 2024.
