The Woodward Charitable Trust supports core costs rather than specific projects. Organisations can apply for up to £3,000, but most grants are for £1,000 or less.
Woodward’s Trustees fund projects that help families and young people. They focus on organisations supporting at least one of the following three target groups:
- Children and young people (up to 25 years) who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in antisocial behaviour. This covers gang violence and knife crime, education and mentoring, as well as projects that work to raise self-esteem and employment opportunities and encourage an active involvement in and contribution towards the local community
- Disadvantaged families. This covers parenting support and guidance, mental health, food poverty, refuges and domestic violence projects
- Prisoners and ex-offenders and specifically projects that maintain and develop contact with prisoners’ families and help with the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners and/or ex-offenders after their release.
The Trust accepts applications from small not for profits (annual turnover less than £200,000) which are registered charities, Charitable Incorporated Organisations, Community Interest Companies or exempt charities.
The Trust has specific ‘windows’ to accept applications twice a year. Check their Diary Page.
The Woodward Charitable Trust also have a grant programme for Childrens Summer Play Schemes for children between the ages of 5-16 years. Organisations must have a turnover under £100,000. Most grants are in the range of £500-£1000 with a deadline for applications usually in April each year.
For both programmes, charities must fill in an application form which can be found on their website, along with more information how to apply.
