Alec Dickson Trust The Alec Dickson Trust provides grants of up to £500 to help young people of up to 30 or small groups

of young people run a volunteering or community service project in their local area.

Volunteering

The fund supports projects that encourage youth volunteering. They particularly like to fund projects that

involve lots of volunteers, and/or encourage these young people to stay engaged as volunteers in the

long term.

Need

The fund support young people who run projects that benefit disadvantaged communities and

individuals. They’re looking for projects that identify a specific need and propose to carry out activities

that will clearly help to address this need. Often it’s about young volunteers helping to give others the

opportunity to engage in activities, have a voice, and meet people that they otherwise would not have

been able to.

Innovation

Ultimately, they’re looking for youth volunteering projects that help to improve communities, but if the

project is new and exciting then even better! They particularly like to fund volunteer initiatives that are

innovative and try to do things a bit differently, such as using social media creatively or using existing

resources in new ways.

The Trustees particularly like to fund projects that involve lots of volunteers, and/or encourage these

young people to stay engaged as volunteers in the long term. Trustees meet on a quarterly basis to

consider applications.

Warburtons Community

Grants

Charitable organisations can apply for a small grant from Warburtons (up to £250). They wish to support

charitable organisations that require small grants to help them deliver a broader activity.

Based on their localism approach, Warburtons community investment funds are allocated to Warburtons

local bakeries and depots. This helps them to make the best decisions for local community. We will use

your postcode to understand which of our sites is closest to you. They will then receive the application

and make a decision.

Warburtons Community Grants are reviewed on a quarterly basis to help streamline the process. This

means that if you wish to apply for a Community Grant you will need to do so before the corresponding

date each quarter. Decisions will be made within 6 weeks of the deadline, and charities will be informed

thereafter.

normally have an income of less than £100,000. Those working across the UK should normally have an

The YAPP Charitable

Trust

The YAPP Charitable Trust offer grants to registered charities with a total annual expenditure of less than

£40,000 who are undertaking work with our priority groups:

• Elderly people

• Children and young people aged 5 – 25

• People with physical impairments, learning difficulties or mental health challenges

• Social welfare – people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than

medical, origin (such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, offending)

• Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally

disadvantaged, whether adults or children)

The Trust will not fund work that does not focus on one of the above priority groups.

The Trust only makes grants for core funding. Core funding is defined as the costs associated with

regular activities or services that have been ongoing for at least a year. The Trust cannot fund new

projects, extra services or additional delivery costs. This includes creating a paid post for work that is

currently undertaken on a voluntary basis or rent for premises that are currently cost free.

The Trust can only offer grants to registered charities that have been formally established for a

minimum of three years. Newly registered charities may apply but the organisation must have

appointed a management committee and adopted a governing document at least 3 years ago.
