Wharfedale Press Release:

Spending out and closing the Foundation

With the unprecedented recent effects on society, through the pandemic and current cost of living crisis, there is a stark increase in the dependence being placed upon civil society as a source of intervention. With the acknowledgement that there is much immediate need for financial support the Trustees have decided to act now by concentrating on spending out the Trust’s remaining resources over the next 2 years.

In 2024/5 the Foundation will therefore provide grants of £500-£25,000 in 4 application rounds, to organisations operating in Y&H under 3 priority areas: breaking down barriers in society; integration of marginalised groups; tackling disadvantage.
