​

Do you support work all over the UK?
 

We support work all over the UK and sometimes internationally - we prioritise applications from our community. W define 'our community' as being both regional (within Leicestershire and Rutland), and from people / organisations within our wider business and charitable community. We tend to support organisations the fit with our vision, mission and values.

​

Do you fund salaries and running costs?

Yes where appropriate.
 

Do you fund capital costs (that is the cost of buying 'things')?

Yes where appropriate.
 

Do you respond to all applications?
 

We aim to respond to everyone, but we are a small team and our availability depends on the volume of applications we receive. So, if you do not hear from us within 6 weeks your application has been unsuccessful.
 

Can we send supporting information in our application?
 

If we need more information we will contact you and ask for it.
 

What happens after I / we receive a grant or funding?
 

If we do fund your project we ask that you keep in touch with us about how the project is going - whether updates are positive or not, so that we can assess the impact of the work we do. We want to be kept fully informed and where appropriate will ask to use your projects on our website, social media and in our charitable updates. Please contact us directly if there is any reason you are uncomfortable with us sharing information or wish your projects to be anonymised.
