Grants 2024-25
The Charity Trustees have reviewed our “Relief in Need” Grants Programme to ensure that the amount of funding budgeted for grant giving is balanced against what the Charity requires to be reinvested into the services we deliver to ensure we maintain high standard of living outcomes for our beneficiaries within the housing and care service.
Due to ongoing economic pressures all areas of the Charity’s activities have become more expensive to deliver, therefore, the Trustees have accordingly, adjusted the amount of grant funding available for distribution. This will be reviewed annually.
During the 2024-25 period Trustees allocated £15,000 surplus funds to the Ballinger Charitable Trust to manage and distribute on our behalf.
The Ballinger Charitable Trust, who support a wide variety of charitable organisations across the region, identified 15 organisations working with older people who said they could improve outcomes for their beneficiaries if given a top up donation of £1,000 to spend.
The report shown below, shows some early examples of the creative ways that funds have been used to improve the lives of older people across the region, feedback from the beneficiaries shows how this approach has increased the impact of the fund and highlights how a relatively small amount of money can make such a big difference to the lives of this vulnerable group.
Thank you to the Ballinger Charitable Trust for processing the grants, free of charge, ensuring every penny of the funds goes to the beneficiaries.
All allocations of funds are managed through the Ballinger Charitable Trust, and we do not accept individual requests for funding.
Further reports will be added as they come in.
