Skipton Building Society – Grassroots Giving

Posted on July 23, 2015

Grassroots Giving is provided by the Skipton Building Society.

The programme aims to support local communities by helping grassroots groups and organisations that are passionate about making life better for others to continue to grow. Financial awards are available for local community groups in the UK (not registered charities) who need a bit of help in getting their projects off the ground.

Local grassroots groups, such as community allotments, social groups for older people and groups running activities for young people, from across the UK may apply.

The awards can be used for projects that create empowering opportunities. Priority will be given to projects which get very little support elsewhere.

For further information please visit Skipton Grassroots Giving 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
