the Community Foundation for the people of Kirklees.

First slide

Hazel Charlesworth Fund

This fund was established by Hazel, and while it is happy to fund charities from across Kirklees, it has a particular interest in Lindley. You can apply for up to £1,000 from this fund, and applications are invited for project, equipment expenditure and operating costs.

Recent grants have included supporting the Lindley Library Community Group, with an award of £950 to replace an area of rubberised tarmac with artificial grass, to provide a more pleasant area for library users. While Huddersfield Town Disabled Supporters Club (above left) received £500 to help with travelling costs and room hire expenditure.

To make an application, scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the 'apply now' button', and follow the on-screen instructions. (Do not delete your registration email, as this contains a link to your application form, and will enable you to go back and complete details at a later stage, if you require).

See below for the fund application deadlines - you can apply for up to £1,000. Please be aware that it can take up to 3 months before you receive any funding, so please schedule your project accordingly. ALL supporting documents must be received with your application - either by post, or attached with the online application form.

One Community makes grants to a wide range of organisations. The Foundation is particularly keen to help grassroots community groups, and small-to-medium-sized voluntary organisations, and priority will be given to these groups. We do not normally make grants to large local, regional and national charities. If in doubt whether your application can be considered, please contact us: (01484) 468397.
