GRANT FUNDING

​

We are always on the lookout for grant funding and were fortunate enough to be awarded a grant by Skipton Building Society back in late 2018 as part of there Grassroots Giving initiative for community projects.

​

If you or the company you work for offer grants to local community projects, then please get in touch.

​

  • Become a member and offer your free time to us!
