THE MAYOR’S APPEAL IS NOW OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS
WOULD £1,000 HELP YOUR GROUP?
The Mayor of Salisbury, in conjunction with the Wiltshire Community Foundation has raised funds to support local grass root community projects and voluntary groups in Salisbury. The Salisbury Diamond Jubilee Fund will make grants every year and the first will be awarded on the anniversary of the Queen’s Jubilee in June this year.
We are looking to make grants to organisations based in and serving Salisbury. You must be made up of, or be helping people who are disadvantaged in some way. (Disabled people, older people, people living in an area of deprivation, people from minority communities for example).
You can apply for help with project costs, equipment or outings.
To apply you must be a group with a committee, a constitution or set of rules and a bank account in the name of the group with a minimum of 2 signatories. We are unable to offer grant to groups who have more than 12 months running costs in reserve.
If you are working with children or vulnerable people you will need to send us a Child Protection/Vulnerable Persons Policy.
If you are just starting out and need help with the above, we may still be able to fund you. Please call 01380 729284 to discuss.
The Community Foundation for Wiltshire & Swindon is launching its Surviving Winter Campaign for the third year running. Rising energy prices mean than more people than ever are living in fuel poverty and it is shocking that around 400 vulnerable people in Wiltshire and Swindon die every year of causes directly attributable to the cold weather. You could help an older person survive this winter.
