Applications are reviewed and awarded based on the strength of application. They look specifically at the following three areas:

  • How much the charity and this project is reaching and helping those most in need ?
  • How much the project is improving a space where people can feel at home – creating somewhere that is comfortable, safe, and welcoming?
  • The difference that the project will make – e.g. no. of people reached, longevity, impact 

Grants are awarded  of up to £10,000 for building or indoor projects, and up to £5,000 for garden projects.
