Small Grants programme 2018

Barnwood Trust is dedicated to supporting the people of Gloucestershire by providing help for those who are living with complex disabilities. To apply for a grant under this scheme, your organisation must normally be based in Gloucestershire and provide a service which directly benefits the quality of life of individuals living in this County who are affected by long term disability or mental health conditions. This includes day care, respite care, welfare services, social and recreational activities, pre-employment training and equipment.

Under the Small Grants Programme we are able to consider applications which will directly benefit people with disabilities or mental health conditions. You are able to apply for funding towards new projects, pilot schemes or specific items to enable you to continue or expand an existing service. The maximum sum we are able to award under this scheme is £1,000. Where possible, we aim to deal with your request within one month. Please note, we have a different form if you wish to apply for a grant towards group holidays, day trips or play schemes.
