Barchester Healthcare Foundation

Aims/priorities: The Foundation aims to make a difference to the lives of older people and other adults with a physical, learning or mental disability; supporting practical solutions that lead to increased personal independence, self-sufficiency and dignity.

The aim of this fund is on connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community. Applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged will receive highest priority.

Patagonia International Environmental Grants

Aims/priorities: Patagonia believes that “local battles to protect a specific stand of forest, a stretch of river, an indigenous wild species or a community from a polluting refinery are both effective at building public support and confronting larger, more complicated issues - like climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental justice” and accordingly provides grants for grassroot initiatives in the UK and the Republic of Ireland that are addressing these issues.

Patch Community Fund

Aims/priorities: We care deeply about the communities we operate in and that's why we've created our Local Community Fund, which shares small grants with local good causes. Grants of £200 to £500 are typically made and support projects from local schools and sports clubs, to community projects. This is a competitive process, and the winners are decided by our own customers and the public.

Our customers will also have the opportunity to shape and participate in community activities and campaigns supported by us.

Football Foundation - Facilities Grants

Aims/priorities: The funding is intended to enhance the grassroots football experience by supporting projects ranging from the purchase of goalposts to improving changing pavilions. The Football Foundation provides comprehensive funding to improve football facilities for all participants.

Who can apply? Applications are accepted from football clubs and community sports organisations. This includes:

Stephen Lloyd Awards

Aims/priorities: The Stephen Lloyd Awards were established in memory of charity and social enterprise lawyer, Stephen Lloyd, who died in August 2014. They reflect his commitment to finding and supporting innovative ways of achieving social or environmental change.

Stephen was an innovator and developer of new ideas. These awards continue Stephen's passion through supporting early-stage projects that have real potential to achieve practical, positive, sustainable changes in today’s society.
