Deadline: 6-Feb-23
Warburtons has launched Community Grants under the Financial Giving Programme that aims support projects, activities and organisations.
Community Grants aim to provide groups, working towards one of the outcome areas, with small amounts of funding to support ongoing activities. They can be used for something specific that will benefit the cause e.g. buying equipment to support an employability project etc. Employees of Warburtons are able to apply on behalf of organisations if they are actively involved with them (e.g. they are a volunteer, trustee, active supporter).
Focus Areas
- Health: Supporting families to care for each other and lead healthier lives
- Place: Supporting families to flourish in communities that are safer, greener and more inclusive.
- Skills: Supporting families to gain useful skills for life and work
