Funding from Woodward Charitable Trust

- Children and young people (up to 25 years old)
- Disadvantaged families
- Prisoners and ex-offenders
The trustees welcome projects that promote community cohesion and the development of skills that will change the outlook and outcomes for the users.
The Trust also say that organisations which promote volunteering and involve both past and present users in their operations or management are encouraged to apply.
At the time of writing, whilst The Trust point out the scheme is a Continuous Rolling Programme – and applications will be accepted at any time – their Trustees usually meet in March and October to review applications and ask interested parties to visit their website for upcoming dates.
