Details

The broad aim of the Stratherrick & Foyers Community Trust is to assist charities and community groups (constituted & not for profit with charitable aims) working to improve the quality of life and life chances in the Stratherrick and Foyers areas, especially in circumstances where funding is particularly hard to find and where a grant can achieve significant impact in enabling groups to fulfill their own objectives.

Grants are made to groups across a wide spectrum of social, welfare, heritage, educational and community development activity.

The majority of funding is directed at locally based work involving, and often initiated by, members of that local community. They also make small sporting grants and educational grants available to individuals.

There are several grant types:

• Large Group grant (for over £25,000)
• Constituted Groups for Community Benefit grant (up to £25,000)
• Non-Constituted Group/Individual for Community Benefit grant (up to £1,000)
• Student Grants (available to residents undertaking a further or higher education course or training)
• Sporting and Excellence Grants (for individuals competing at a national or international event or participating in a recognised training camp as a trainee)
• The Knockie Fund (available to anyone in the area who is currently suffering fuel poverty or who require food vouchers)
