Objectives of Fund

The principle aim of this funding is to focus on supporting families that need help the most, in a way which adheres to their principles of transparency, trust and transformation. The aim of these small community grants is to support projects, activities and organisations that will be of real direct benefit to families and have a direct and tangible social impact on people’s lives.

Applications will be considered from not-for-profit organisations with charitable purposes that are based and working in England, Scotland or Wales as long as their projects are addressing one of Warburtons’ priority areas:

Health – supporting families to care for each other and lead healthier lives
Place – supporting families to flourish in communities that are safer, greener and more inclusive
Skills – supporting families to gain useful skills for life and work

Grants can be used to cover specific costs that will benefit the cause (eg, purchasing equipment to support an employability project).

Applications are considered quarterly with decisions made within six weeks of the deadline.
