By supporting and empowering grassroots organisations and fostering collaboration within the sector and between the sector and external organisations, this funding aims to address challenges that are preventing the growth and sustainability of services.
This funding can make a real difference to small organisations, whose capacity-related pressures can have a direct impact on the people they support. Staff shortages, high energy costs, and limitations in physical space are just a few of the many obstacles causing interrupted service provision, and even permanent closure.
Funding of between £10,000 and £20,000 is available for registered charities, registered Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs), charitable companies limited by guarantee, Community Interest Companies (CIC), and exempt charities, whose primary purpose is to support those living with or at risk of sight loss.
The grants will focus on two key areas:
- Collaboration between organisations within the sight loss sector and between the sight loss sector and external organisations.
- Small charities and grassroots organisations.
The grant funding could be used as a contribution to core costs, a merger of organisations, or strengthening systems and processes.
