Deadline: 21-Sep-20
The Clare Milne Trust is seeking applications for its 2020 Grant Program to support and improve the lives of people living with disabilities in Devon and Cornwall.
The Trust does this by making grants to charities working directly with people with disabilities in the South West. The Clare Milne Trust focuses its grants on small effective charities with good volunteer support.
The Clare Milne Trust will only support charities and organisations who recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s business.
