We accept applications from organisations which are addressing issues in rural areas, and from local or national charities or not-for-profit organisations which are working with residents of urban areas (i.e. more than 10,000 inhabitants) which are classified in the latest government Indices of Multiple Deprivation as being in the most deprived 20%. Within these overarching themes, we are interested in three areas: Community Support - For example: work with young people; community centres; support for carers; older people’s projects; help for refugees; family support; rehabilitation of ex-offenders. Disability and Healthcare - For example: projects in deprived areas for people of all ages with physical and/or sensory disabilities; support for people with mental health issues; hospices. Arts, Education and Heritage - For example: arts projects for people with disabilities; performance or visual arts with a clear and strong community impact; alternative education projects; supplementary teaching; which involve local people and have a demonstrable community benefit.
