HEDLEY FOUNDATION

The Hedley Foundation awards grants to small charities working with young people in the following areas:
o Recreation;
o Sport;
o Training;
o Health and welfare; and
o The outdoor education of young people.
The Foundation is particularly keen on supporting:
o Open air and adventure-type activities and the funding of appropriate kit and equipment;.
o Small charities which can demonstrate achievement in persuading and deterring at-risk young people from proceeding further down the pathway to custody.
o Small charities working with disabled and terminally ill young people through by providing specialist equipment and organised respite breaks;
o Small charities working with young carers;
o Organisational development and change.
UK registered charities may apply for a grant of up to £5,000. The average grant is around £3,000.
Grants are for specific projects only and are mostly one-off with a limited number of recurring grants for 2 to 3 years. National and very large charities are not supported.
The Foundation awarded around £840,000 in one-off grants last year. The maximum grant is typically £5,000 and the average grant is £3,000. Larger awards of £10,000 or £15,000 – and occasionally £50,000 – are sometimes made by the Foundation.
