The True Colours Trust provides one-off core cost or project grants of up to £10,000 with no match funding requirement for local causes in the UK. Grants are intended to help smaller organisations develop and deliver programmes for children with a disability, their siblings and families.
Support is available for children and young people aged 0 to 26 years with a disability and/or with a complex health care need. The Trust is particularly keen to fund:
o Hydrotherapy pools;
o Multi-sensory rooms (image below);
o Minibuses;
o Sibling projects;
o Bereavement support;
o Specialised play equipment;
o Access to play and leisure;
o Family support; and/or
o Parent-led peer support.

Registered charities and organisations with charitable status that support disabled children and young people and their families may apply.
During the year ending 5 April 2017 the Trust approved grants totalling £1,313,673, some of which were for more than one year, across all of its programmes.
According to a circular we've recently received, we understand that the Trust may also consider offering grants of up to £10,000 to councils interested in increasing their accessible playground provision for disabled children and their families. Grants are intended for the purchase and installation of accessible equipment which will improve access to public playgrounds for disabled children. Please check with the Trust to verify this.
The following are not eligible for funding:
o Organisations with an annual income exceeding £300,000;
o Organisations requesting funding for consecutive years (multi-year funding);
o Local authorities (but please see note above about making local authority managed playgrounds more accessible);
o Condition specific organisations;
o Residential play schemes;
o Residential special schools;
o Free schools; or
o Young carers' projects.
