What we fund
Work which delivers against our core priorities:
- Tackling poverty and disadvantage
- Improving mental health and wellbeing
- Stronger communities
- Developing education, skills and employment
- Building awareness of climate change
In 2023-24, we are focused on:
- Reducing the impact of disadvantage in Cheshire and Warrington, particularly with a view to funding longer-term work in communities where change takes time and resource over many years.
We recognise that;
- multi-year funding which helps VCFS organisations to take a longer view, embed work more effectively and plan for their sustainable future is one of the single most important things that we can consider as a funder. We’re keen to do more work of this kind
- smaller, shorter-term grant-making remains crucial to support responsive, grassroots projects.
