Thanks to our colleague Steve Baylis for this information:

The Austin Hope and Pilkington Trust have announced that their next round of grant funding will open on the 1st February 2017. During this funding round grants of £1,000 will be available to registered charities that have an income of between £50,000 and £1 million for projects that relate to helping the elderly.

The Trust will run four funding rounds each year with a different theme and for each funding round will give priority to projects that focus on homelessness, domestic abuse, prisoners/offenders, training/education, counselling/support and activities for those with limited access or opportunities.

The closing date for applications will be 28th February 2017.

For information on how to apply and on future funding rounds this year, please visit: http://austin-hope-pilkington.org.uk/

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

Kindest regards

Edwin
