WE’RE pleased to be able to start making some grants again through our new Community Recharge programme which is now open. Applications can be made up until 9th October.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, community organisations have continued to deliver vital support and activities while facing significant challenges for their own staff and volunteers, as well as their finances. As the sector begins to look at what’s next, we know that to build in new approaches thoughtfully and sustainably requires investment of time and money. 

James McHugh, Grants Manager at Stratford Town Trust said: “We know the impact of the pandemic on our communities has been significant. It has also, in many cases, meant we have had to deliver services to support and engage people in significantly different ways.  We hope this new funding stream will go some way to enabling charities and community groups in Stratford to build resilience and continue to look to the future.”
