The St. Giles Charitable Trust Fund is offering an important opportunity for small, community-led groups in Northampton to make a real difference in the lives of local people facing poverty.
With grants of up to £5,000 available, the fund aims to support projects that tackle the root causes and immediate effects of financial hardship in the community.
This funding is designed to reach those who are most vulnerable, especially individuals and families who are in crisis due to low income or the rising cost of living. Whether it’s helping people access food, stay warm during winter, or receive support with housing, the fund focuses on practical solutions that meet urgent needs.
The opportunity is open to small voluntary organizations, self-help groups, and community-led initiatives that are based in Northampton and run by local people. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that their work involves volunteers, has proper governance in place, and directly supports those who are struggling financially.
Groups working on food bank provision, free children’s activities in deprived areas, advice services, or energy support schemes are especially encouraged to apply. The fund is looking for projects that act as a safety net and improve the quality of life for those most affected by poverty.
This is a valuable opportunity for grassroots organizations to secure funding that could make a real and lasting impact in Northampton’s communities.
