Woodward Charitable Trust – Small Grants

The funding is for charitable organisations in the UK, to support core costs in the following areas:

• Arts outreach work by local groups involving disadvantaged people.
• Children and young people who are isolated, at risk of exclusion or involved in anti-social behaviour.
• Disability projects, which can include rehabilitation and training for people who are either physically or learning disabled as well as charities supporting mental health issues.
• Disadvantaged women and their children, covering refuges and domestic violence shelters and groups.
• Disadvantaged families including parenting support.
• Prisoners and ex-offenders and specifically projects that help the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners and/or ex-offenders as well as requests to help prisoners’ families.
• Projects that promote integration and community cohesion particularly among minority groups, refugees and traveller communities.

Grants of up to £3,000 are available (usually around 100 grants awarded per year). Most grants are for one year.

A small number of larger grants of more than £3,000 will also be awarded (usually no more than 5-8 per year) but these are almost always to charities already known to the Trustees.
