Celebrating Community Impact in 2024/25
This year we have awarded 307 grants totalling £1,221,297
Our impact is made possible by donors and the local charities and community organisations they support. They make a difference. We manage their grants.
This year has been nothing short of extraordinary, despite the immense challenges posed by the cost of living crisis. Our staff and volunteers have demonstrated dedication and exceptional skill, working tirelessly to ensure every donated penny makes the greatest possible impact in our local communities.
Community groups have been the backbone of our response, playing a crucial role in ensuring that local people receive the support they need. In our 2024/25 review, we share the inspiring stories behind just a few of the 300+ grants we’ve awarded this year.
We have also published our grantmaking map below. Each pin on the below map represents a grant we have awarded (2019-Apil 2022) click on the pin to read all about each of the amazing community projects. (Top tip zoom in on the map to see more pins).
