The Greggs Foundation’s Local Community Projects Fundprovides small grants for projects that improve resilience within a community of interest; i.e. a community of people who share a common interest or passion, such as:
o People who are disabled or with a chronic illness;
o Living in poverty;
o Voluntary carers;
o Homeless;
o Isolated older people; or
o Other demonstrable significant need.
o Living in poverty;
o Voluntary carers;
o Homeless;
o Isolated older people; or
o Other demonstrable significant need.
The Foundation is interested in new approaches and innovative ideas as well as sustainable approaches to supporting the community of interest.
Not-for-profit organisations in England, Wales and Scotland may apply for a grant of up to £2,000.
There is no match funding requirement.
Approximately 1 in 4 applications are successful. Organisations with a turnover of £300,000 or more are unlikely to be awarded a grant. Similarly, organisations with more than six months running costs in a cash reserve are also unlikely to secure grant support.
Grants can cover sessional activities, respite support, equipment, trips and residential breaks.
Successful applicants should be able to demonstrate improvements against at least one of the Foundation's following Key Performance Targets:
o Beneficiaries have reduced social isolation;
o Beneficiaries report improved health and wellbeing;
o Beneficiaries report improved resilience/coping mechanisms;
o Beneficiaries have improved life skills; and
o Beneficiaries have improved opportunities.
o Beneficiaries report improved health and wellbeing;
o Beneficiaries report improved resilience/coping mechanisms;
