Thanks again for our colleague Steve Baylis for making us aware of the following:

Greggs Foundation Local Community Projects Fund

The next application deadline for the Greggs Foundation Local Community Projects Fund is the 30th September 2016. The foundation is a grant making trust which distributes around £1.8 million per year to organisations throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

The Local Community Projects Fund makes grants of up to £2,000 to not for profit organisations with a turnover of less than £300,000 a year who work to reduce the disadvantage of the most deprived people in the community such as the disabled, those living in poverty, voluntary carers and isolated older people.

The Foundation are more likely to make grants to local organisations based near Greggs shops. Please use the shop locator on the Greggs website to find your nearest shop. Deadline: 30th September 2016 More information at:  https://www.greggsfoundation.org.uk/grants/local-community-projects-fund .

I trust this is useful and ask that you do not hesitate to circulate as you feel appropriate.

Kindest regards

Edwin
