Grants for organisations
As part of the development of Unlocking Opportunities, our ten-year investment plan we have reviewed the way we make grants and allocate funding to organisations.
Grants of less than £750 for organisations
Grants for holidays and play schemes are available to organisations with a demonstrable track record of providing holidays, trips or play schemes for Gloucestershire people with a disability. These grants are fast-tracked – and have a dedicated application form (see right).
Small grants (under £750) to organisations already known to the Trust are unchanged. The application process for these grants will also remain the same – application form and instructions for applying, see right.
Grants for up to £750 for village halls to make adaptations for people with disabilities are still available. These must meet the eligibility criteria agreed with Gloucestershire Rural Community Council. Please apply to Barbara Pond at GRCC for details email bpond@grcc.org.uk or call 01452 528491.
Grants for organisations in excess of £750
We no longer award open application grants for sums over £750. For the foreseeable future, the Trust will be making funding available to communities across Gloucestershire on a proactive, not a reactive, basis. This means that the Trust will be seeking to fund specific types of activity, not responding to requests from organisations.
Any questions?
Please contact us if you have any queries.

‘Barnwood Trust’s support was hugely important. It was the very first real piece of funded work we got. It was a leap of faith on their part. It has been enormously helpful.’
