The Charles Hayward Foundation wish to fund preventative and early intervention programmes being delivered at the community level which allow older people to stay in their own homes and remain independent. The Foundation are interested in programmes which can demonstrate their effectiveness in improving the quality of life of older people. We favour projects that offer a consistent and sustained benefit rather than one-off events or short-lived activities.
The Foundation fund projects in the following sub-categories:
VCSE organisations working in Wakefield District are invited to apply for grants up to £10,000 to fund provision around low level mental health support for working age adults.
Asda Foundation recognises the importance of supporting young people, with a particular focus on their mental health and wellbeing. This year, the Foundation are providing grants to support their development.
Grants for capital projects are available to small and medium-sized charities working to assist homeless people to rebuild their lives and return to the community.
