Deadline: 14-Aug-23
The Quartet Community Foundation is pleased to announce a call for applications for the High Sheriff of Somerset Charitable Trust Grant Programme.
Current Priorities
- They want the grants made from this programme to make a real difference to young people. They are particularly keen to hear from those working in the more disadvantaged communities. They will also prioritise applications that:
- Allow young people to tackle the problems of their community themselves
- Involve a cross section of your community
- Highlight the dangers of drug, solvent and alcohol abuse or address bullying or cyber-bullying
- Most of the funding will go towards projects or activities in these priority areas. But they will also consider applications that clearly make a positive difference to disadvantaged people in other circumstances.
Funding Information
- Maximum grant awarded: Up to £1,500
What you can apply for?
- Grants from the High Sheriff of Somerset Charitable Trust (formerly Somerset Crimebeat Trust) are available for projects that give young people (up to the age of 25) the opportunity to help combat crime and the cause of crime in their communities.
- You can apply to this programme for projects that:
- Promote safer communities through the prevention of crime
- Give young people the opportunity to use their own energy, imagination and enthusiasm to prevent crime, or reduce the risk of crime
- Educate young people on the causes and effect of crime.
