Overview

They give preference to applications from groups working in Leicestershire and Rutland along with a small number of applications from North Wales or Northern Ireland. Very occasionally they will support projects outside these areas.

Grants tend to range from £250 to £1,000 although they have no upper set limit for very special applications.

They prefer to support specific projects such as the purchase of specialist equipment, contributions towards the purchase of new premises or the renovation of a building, contributions towards the start up costs of a new post and other one off costs. They do not make regular repeat grants. In general they do not support the larger, high profile national charities unless they have a project specific to their areas of interest.
