Aims/priorities: Funding is intended to provide musical entertainment and related activities for the elderly to provide therapeutic benefit for their health and wellbeing. The Trust awards grants to charitable bodies which provide cultural activities and related facilities for the elderly, in order to improve the quality of life of elderly people.
Who can apply? The Trust is keen to support smaller charitable organisations in England and Wales that might otherwise find it difficult to gain funding. These include funds to many care homes for the elderly, to provide musical entertainment for residents. Organisations will be automatically refused funding if they do not include their accounts or financial statements with the application.
Grant amount: Grants of up to £250 are available.
Application process: Application forms are available from the Trust's website. Applicants are advised to submit their proposal ahead of the deadline in order for it to be reviewed by the administrator. No e-mail or telephone correspondence will be entered into regarding an application. Only hard copy postal applications will be accepted.
Deadline: 31 October 2022.
