Deadline: 9-Nov-20
Warburtons Community Grants provides small grants up to £400 to support charitable organizations towards broader activities which improve Health, Place or Skills for families in their community.
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 organizations if they are actively involved with them (e.g. the are a volunteer trustee active supporter).
Based on their localism approach, community investment funds are allocated to their local bakeries and depots. This helps their Community Champions to make the best decisions for local communities. They will use your postcode to understand which of their sites is closest to you and they will then receive the application and make a decision.
