Help the Homeless Grant Scheme

Posted on May 15, 2015

Help the Homeless, a national Charity which aims to help homeless people throughout the United Kingdom has announced that the next deadline for applications is the 15th June 2015.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available towards capital costs to support projects that help disadvantaged individuals in their return to mainstream society, through residential or training facilities.
The grants are available to small and medium sized charities. Grants to larger charities may be considered if the project is suitable innovative and only possible for a larger organisation to develop it. All applications must relate to projects that assist individuals in their return to mainstream society, rather than simply offer shelter or other forms of sustenance.

For further information please visit Help the Homeless website or call CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
