New or Updated Funding Initiatives
G&H Roberts Community Trust
The G & H Roberts Community Trust is a small family Trust, established to respond to the needs of one local community concentrating on areas of educational and social welfare. Over the years the close association with that particular community has dwindled and the Trust has now branched out into supporting a wider geographical area. They retain a strong connection to UK based charities, but have also supported specific projects around the world.

Key Dates for your Fundraising Diary
OneFamily Foundation: Community Awards
The OneFamily Foundation helps fund community projects chosen by their customers. OneFamily customers simply nominate their favourite local community project for a Community Award of up to £5,000 or up to £25,000. Approved projects are then entered into a public online vote, which determines the winners. Projects will therefore need to campaign and raise awareness of their nomination in the Community Awards to gain the most votes!
