The Community Foundation for Staffordshire is pleased to announce an open call for the Edward Wood Fund to support individuals who are hearing impaired up to the age of 19 years old.
Small grants are available to support projects that would be unobtainable through statutory organisations. The fund is available to people resident in Stoke on Trent and those who have been educated in Stoke-on-Trent.
Funding can be used to help hearing impaired children and young people from birth up until the end of the year in which they become 19 years of age. The applicant must be living in the city of Stoke-on-Trent or have been educated in Stoke-on-Trent at any level. Initial support for a hearing impaired student applying for a course of higher education will also be considered and is open to application.
