The Knutsford Fund
The Knutsford Fund managed by Cheshire Community Foundation exists to support charities, CIC’s and voluntary organisations delivering services across the four Knutsford wards of Nether, Norbury Booths, Over and Bexton and extending to the rural areas surrounding Knutsford town – including Tabley, Lower Peover, Tatton, Ollerton and Chelford.
To many people Knutsford is known as cosy and comfortable in Cheshire’s sweet spot south of Manchester, however, the stark reality is that there are areas facing significant poverty, deprivation, and mental health challenges.
Local small charities have an extraordinary capacity to change lives for the better and since 2018, donors to the Fund have given over £250,000 to those good causes supporting children, the elderly, young families, mental health, social isolation, food poverty, activities for teenagers, intergenerational projects, community events and shared community spaces.
We aim to build a self-sustaining Fund that provides annual grant making resource and are looking for support from individuals, families and businesses who want to help break the cycle of deprivation and create permanent positive change.
