The Skipton Building Society Charitable Foundation was established in February 2000, supporting registered charities throughout the UK and distributing donations. Skipton Building Society makes an annual payment to the Charitable Foundation to fund these donations. Independent of Skipton Building Society, the Charitable Foundation’s decisions are made by its Board of Trustees.
Registered UK charities with a purpose benefiting children, adults, and the elderly's welfare can apply for a grant of up to £6,000. Applications must fund items or activities that have tangible benefit to the charity's beneficiaries. For example, equipment to support young people transitioning from homelessness to new accommodation, such as toiletries, bedding, and cooking utensils. Or equipment to engage the elderly in activities, exercise, and experiences to help improve mental and physical wellbeing, such as a large, digital interactive activity table for a care setting. They do not fund running costs.
