Greggs Foundation The Foundation is evolving. Firstly the name has changed. The Charity was previously known as the Greggs Trust. It has now changed to the Greggs Foundation as it is felt that this better reflects the work of the charity. The remit of the charity has been expanded. Previously it has provided hardship funds for individuals and families in need, large grants to community organisations in the North-East and small grants of up to £1,000 administered by our divisional charity committees around the UK. This work will continue. Here follows an outline of our community activities: Main Grants: The Foundation can offer grants of between £1,000 and £15,000 for up to three years to charities and community organisations that aim to alleviate disadvantage in the North East area. There is a budget of around £120,000 for new activity in 2009. Applications are assessed and decisions are made during quarterly trustee meetings. Applications are invited for our September trustees meeting. Applications must be received by August 15 to be considered. £40,000 for new and continuation grants is available at this meeting. For further information please contact a member of the Foundation team on 0191 2217626. Small grants: Small, one off grants of up to £1,000 can be made by our divisional grants committees. For guidance on how to apply, please visit the website: www.greggsfoundation.org.uk Breakfast Clubs: The foundation support breakfast clubs based in schools in socially deprived areas of the North-East. The breakfast clubs ensure that children get the best start to their day through the provision of a healthy breakfast. The breakfast clubs rely on parent volunteers, encouraging a healthy start for families. A typical breakfast club costs the Foundation £1,500 per year, or £500 per term. The difference made through the delivery of each is overwhelming. Again Greggs Foundation are looking for financial support to increase the number of Breakfast Clubs and any advice would be appreciated. For any further information on any of the community activities, please contact the Foundation team on 0191 2127626

The schedule for the Development/Appraisal/Decision Process for Working Neighbourhoods Fund - 2008/09 The Working Neighbourhoods Fund Application Forms are available here Working Neighbourhoods Strategy Board meet every 6 weeks.
