Funding Priorities:

We look to support a wide range of activities where there is clearly beneficial impact across the community. Our particular goal at this time is to encourage active participation by young people.

 

We look for evidence of energetic fund raising and the involvement and commitment of local people in trying to help themselves, where an award of up to £40,000 can make the difference between success and failure.

 

Apart from professional football and horse racing, most socially inclusive sport is considered. Support for the arts covers the widest spectrum of activity.
