Woodward Charitable Trust Summer Playscheme Grants

Posted on April 1, 2016

The Woodward Charitable Trust has announced that its Summer Playscheme Grants Programme has re-opened for applications.

Grants of between £500 and £1,000 are available to registered charities for summer playschemes for children between the ages of 5 and 16 years. Applicants’ annual income should be under £100,000.

Approximately 35 grants are awarded each year. The Trustees favour small-scale, locally based initiatives, with funding primarily for one-off projects, but the Trustees are willing to consider funding running costs (including core cost and salaries).

Grants can only be paid to registered charities. Organisations which are not a registered charity may still apply, but need the agreement of a registered charity who will accept the grant on their behalf.

The application deadline is Friday 15^th April 2016.
