The Thonock Trust Grant Program in the United Kingdom

Deadline: 1-Jun-22

The Thonock Trust Grant Program is now open to improve the lives and wellbeing of those living in Gainsborough, Corringham, Blyton, Springthorpe and Lea through the provision of education, training, activities and personal development.

What Can The Trust Fund?

• They can fund projects that benefit people still in full time education (primary and secondary schools, further education establishments), that want to encourage educational or cultural activities which are not a statutory responsibility.
• They can fund local projects that encourage and/or assist more people to become involved in local community activities.
• They can fund projects that help build a group or individual’s capacity through training, skill sharing and best practice sessions.
• They can provide funding to cover activity costs eg equipment, travel and associated costs.
• Individuals who need funds to allow them to get back into the workplace or training (uniforms, course material or equipment).
• Priority will be given to projects that have a long lasting impact, provide good value for money and contribute towards sustainability.

Funding Information

• Grants to groups are for a maximum of £2,000.
• Grants to individuals are for a maximum of £250.
