Festive Food Fund: Christmas Community Meals - Rochdale Borough

Aims/priorities:

Festive periods can be a lonely and painful time for some: there are fewer places to go and it can be a difficult time financially to provide food or put a meal on the table.

The council has a number of unused Aldi vouchers that it would, therefore, like to distribute to VCFSE groups and organisations to contribute toward providing Christmas community meals to address these issues. We are looking for organisations who are able to do one, or both, of the following:

Jeans for Genes Grant Programme - Project Grants

Aims/priorities: Genetic Disorders UK was established in April 2011 to act as an umbrella charity for a variety of activities to support individuals and families affected by genetic disorders, including fundraising initiatives such as Jeans for Genes Day. Jeans for Genes Day, when children and adults across the UK are encouraged to wear their jeans to school or to work in exchange for a small donation, was launched in 1996 to inspire the public to raise money for children affected by genetic disorders. 

Great Places Resilience Fund Grant 2023

Aims/priorities: £100k in grants will be available through this year’s Greater Together Foundation Resilience Fund. These will be distributed on a commissioning basis with our Community Investment Team’s Community and Partnership Managers managing the allocation of funds for their regions.

The Community and Partnership Managers will help to identify community organisations that are eligible for the fund and provide guidance with their application if required.

Hinrichsen Foundation

Aims/priorities: The Hinrichsen Foundation offers grants to support organisations and individuals undertaking projects to promote music.

Who can apply? Individuals, organisations and charities in the UK are eligible to apply.

Grant amount: There are two levels of funding available:

  • One-off small grants typically between £500 and £2,500 (for new applicants and former beneficiaries).
  • Larger projects or concert series generally £2,000 and over.

Multi-year partnerships may be considered.

Crowdfunder – Cost of Living Resilience Fund

Aims/priorities: The fund aims to increase sustainability in social sector organisations by supporting them to deliver projects which build organisational stability and resilience to deliver.

Examples of the kind of project which would be match funded include:

Refurbishment of premises to better serve the community and increase delivery capacity.

Development of a new service or product to bring in additional revenue.

Investment in current activity to allow growth or expansion of services.

Edge Fund

Aims/priorities:

The Fund supports efforts to achieve social, economic and environmental justice and to end imbalances in wealth and power. It also gives people a say in where the money goes and is an alternative fund for those who struggle to get funding elsewhere.

In recognition of the cost of living crisis, Edge Fund supports mutual aid groups i.e. those focusing on covering immediate needs whilst recognising and organising against the systems that cause these inequalities in the first place.
