Eligible groups and individuals across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk can apply for grants between £250 and £5,000 from the Foundation.

“Our mission is to award grants to local charities, groups and other good causes who are making a real difference. Whether you’re fundraising to improve your sports club or village hall, or you’re struggling with transportation for older people or those living with disabilities, or if you just need some help coming up with a good idea – we want to hear from you!
“Rest assured that our grant process is streamlined to make it as easy and as quick as possible for you to receive your funding and start making a life-changing impact within your local community. We look forward to supporting you and making a difference together.”
