Grant Purpose
Who they support
Social welfare lies at the heart of The Hedley Foundation’s activities. In the last 12 months, The Foundation made grants to 326 small charities. The following categories of funding are supported by The Foundation:
Youth Support
Projects which raise the aspirations or help to realise the full potential of disadvantaged young people. Typically, grants are made to broaden the horizons of young people through sport, adventurous activities, education, the arts, training or sustainable employment. These might include youth engagement initiatives that help counter anti-social behaviours within their communities and activities that help to keep young people away from the Criminal Justice System.
Disabled Support
Projects to improve the quality of life of people of all ages with physical and mental disabilities, sensory impairment and learning difficulties.
Supporting the Elderly and Terminally Ill
Projects to help elderly people to maintain a level of independence and projects to support those in the closing stage of life, in hospices or hospitals.
