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:
Culture Grants – Culture Everywhere Micro Grants are Wakefield Council’s grants specifically aimed at Wakefield-based VCSE sector organisations to run short term and small scale creative and heritage projects and events.
A seven-day online match funding campaign supporting arts and culture charities working to achieve societal impact across the UK, run in partnership with New Philanthropy for Arts & Culture (NPAC).
Power to Change is looking to collaborate with a small number of community businesses that are working on innovative ways to renew their local high streets and town centres. Investment, peer networking and advocacy.
