Our new Community Foundation gives local charities the opportunity to apply for grants of up to £5,000.
Working in partnership with the Leicestershire & Rutland Community Foundation, the Society’s Community Foundation has been launched as a result of a successful financial year in 2021, presenting the perfect opportunity for us to reinvest our profits back into our communities by supporting various charities across Leicestershire and Warwickshire.
Each year the Foundation will choose which charities to support based on current social issues. By doing this, we hope to tackle the greatest challenges facing our communities. This year, the charities we have dedicated our help to are focussed around:
- Poverty and disadvantage
- The environment
- Mental and physical health and wellbeing
In 2022, the successful charities chosen for funding were selected by our own staff; Going forward, Society members will be involved in this important decision.
This year, the Society has pledged its support to the six following charities:
The leading local independent conservation organisation’s mission is to bring people closer to nature and create a land rich in wildlife by managing nature reserves, engaging with communities on local projects, delivering educational activities, and campaigning on behalf of the environment to protect threatened places and rare species.
