The Hedley Foundation is offering a grants programme to help and improve the quality of life of people in the UK, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Hedley Foundation is an endowed grant giving charitable foundation which supports small to medium sized UK registered charities operating across the spectrum of social need.
This is achieved by making grants, within budget, to registered charities for the benefit of young people, disabled people, elderly people, the terminally ill and otherwise disadvantaged people and their carers.
Funding Information
- Typically, grants of up to £5,000 are regularly made and occasional larger sums are given to charities where high impact can be achieved.
- Similarly, smaller charities often benefit from smaller grants of £250 upwards.
