The Woodland Charitable Trust has launched the Children’s Summer Play Schemes Grant Programme for summer play schemes for children from disadvantaged backgrounds between the ages of 5-16 years.
Trustees only fund programmes that run for a minimum of 2 weeks, 10 full days or 20 half days across the summer holidays.
Funding Information
- Most grants awarded are in the range of £500 to £1,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Preference is given to:
- small local play schemes that provide a wide-ranging programme of activities. Trustees prioritise activities that are relatively inexpensive such as crafts and cooking, as well as outdoor activities and sport.
- schemes that involve a large number of children.
- schemes where past users are encouraged to come back and help as volunteers.
- Grants can only be paid to registered charities, CICs, CIOs or exempt charities.
Ineligibility Criteria
- Trustees will not fund:
- trips that are only social such as to a theme park or cinema. Trustees prioritise funding for trips that are educational and motivational or relate to the natural environment such as to the seaside or countryside.
- charities whose annual turnover exceeds £100,000.
- overseas projects.
