Each month, our Trustees come together to award grants from our two core funds. The 'Stronger Communities Fund' (SCF), where we seek applications from community groups looking to make a difference in their area, and the 'Manchester's Rising Stars Fund' where we award grants supporting ambitious young Mancunians.
This month, we awarded 5 SCF grants totalling £17,673! Here is the full list of those fantastic local initiatives, and we look forward to sharing further details about them with you over the month.
