Apply to the Agnes Hunter Trust by Wednesday 5 February.
The Agnes Hunter Trust is offering grants to registered charities across Scotland with an annual income less than £1 million to deliver projects and activities that support disabled people. Grants typically range between £3,000 and £10,000 and can be used to support provision that provides opportunities and enables people to lead fulfilling lives, such as:
- Advice, support, and information.
- Life-skills training.
- Employability training.
- Volunteering.
Funding is for projects that support a range of specific groups or people, including (but not restricted to) those living with mental ill health, cancer, physical and sensory impairments, and long term health conditions, as well as people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and other neurodivergent people. The funding can also be used towards an organisation’s core costs or direct priject costs, including staff salaries and overheads. The Trust will only award grants that equate to at least 10% of the total project costs.
The Trust typically operates two rounds of funding per year: one in Spring/Summer and one in Autumn Winter. The deadline for applications is Thursday 5 February, 5:00 PM. You can apply through the Agnes Hunter Trust website.
