Funding to Support Family Based Projects

Posted on July 2, 2015

The Kelly Family Charitable Trust is open to applications from registered charities for projects that support and encourage the family to work as a cohesive unit in tackling problems that face one or more of its members.
The overall objective is to reinforce the potential benefit and support, that family members as a unit can give to each other.
The fund also welcomes applications from sports and health-related charities whose activities comply with the above criteria.

Grants are of between £1,000 and £5,000, but higher grants may be considered. The next closing date for applications is the 1st September 2015.

For further information please visit The Kelly Family Charitable Trust website or call CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire for funding and capacity building support on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
