Greggs Foundation - Local Community Projects Fund
The Local Community Projects Fund helps organisations based in local communities to deliver projects or provide equipment to people in need at the heart of our local communities.
Local Community Projects Funding is offered to organisations supporting people in need. Any not for profit organisation can apply, however, larger organisations with a turnover in excess of £300,000 are unlikely to be successful.
What type of project can we support?
We are interested in projects that improve resilience within your community of interest. This can include sessional activities/respite support, equipment for sessional activities, trips and residential breaks. We are also interested in new approaches and innovative ideas as well as sustainable approaches to supporting your community of interest. We do not fund running costs or continuation of existing and ongoing work.
Where can we make grants?
We are more likely to make grants to local organisations based near Greggs shops. Please use the shop locator on the Greggs website to find your nearest shop.
How much can we can give?
The maximum grant that we can give is £2,000.
Round 1 (2017) is now open and closes on 3rd March 2017 with results being announced no later than 28th April 2017.

Dan Maskell Tennis Trust
The Dan Maskell Tennis Trust is a tennis charity raising funds for people with disabilities. Formed in 1997 and named after the late Dan Maskell “The Voice of Wimbledon”
Tennis is great fun for all, whether playing socially with friends or at an elite level. It truly is a sport that can be enjoyed regardless of age or ability. What is exciting and of particular interest to us, is that tennis is also highly accessible to disabled people.
At the Trust we specialise in creating opportunities and supporting disabled people who want to play tennis. Over the years we have helped hundreds of individuals, clubs and groups to access and provide tennis for disabled people. We do this by:
Providing specialist wheelchairs for individuals, clubs, special schools and centres running disability programmes.
Closing date: Saturday 10th December

Esmee Fairbairn: New focus on young people leaving care
Esmee Fairbairn is launching new funding for organisations working to ensure that care leavers are decision makers in the choices that affect their lives.
Spending over £2m a year for at least 5 years, they will support young people leaving care to sustain healthy relationships and to receive more consistent and high quality support from the state.
Informed by evidence from Social Finance’s Impact Incubator, their new funding stream welcomes applications which:
• Ensure care leavers are more easily able to form healthy relationships that help them make a successful transition to adulthood
• Ensure young people leaving care receive a consistently high standard of statutory support that has been informed by their views.
• Funding is limited to the charitable work of organisations, and could be for core or project costs, including staff salaries and overheads. There are no limits on grant size or length. Most support is likely to be in the form of grants, but we would consider making social investments.
Applications to the Young People Leaving Care funding stream can be made from 31 October 2016, with the first Young People Leaving Care grants likely to be made early in 2017.
