Grants of £500 are available to local grassroots groups, such as community allotments, social groups for older people, and groups running activities for young people, from across the UK. Skipton Building Society’s ‘Grassroots Giving’ 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. The funding is for projects that create empowering opportunities and make life better for local communities. Priority will be given to projects which get very little support elsewhere. Groups should have an annual net profit of less than £10,000, and the deadline for applications is the 31st July. Find out more and apply here
