Woodward
Charitable Trust
The Woodward
Charitable Trust is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable
Trusts. The Trusts share a common administration, but are
otherwise independent of each other.
What
is the funding for?
There
are two types of funding: General and Children's Playscheme
General:
Funding Priorities
1. Homelessness,
especially affecting young people and women, and covering
facilities such as women's refuges;
2. Prisons and prisoners, with particular emphasis on post-release
help and on families of offenders and ex-offenders;
3. Travellers;
4. Addiction, including projects tackling the social exclusion
elements and preventative programmes;
5. People experiencing domestic violence.
Trustees
may also consider
6. Arts
outreach work by local groups, particularly in fields that
do not attract funding from other Sainsbury Family Charitable
Trusts;
7. Disability projects;
8. Environmental projects, especially with a strong education
element, provided they are distinctive and not merely a part
of current fashion.
Children's
Playschemes
Each year
the trustees of the Woodward Charitable Trust set aside funds
for summer playschemes for children between the ages of 5-16
years.
Preference
is given to:
* small
local playschemes that provide a wide-ranging programme of
activities
* schemes that involve a large number of children
* schemes catering for those from disadvantaged backgrounds
or that have a disability
* schemes that are inclusive such as projects that work with
children from a range of backgrounds, abilities and race
* schemes where past users are encouraged to come back and
help as volunteers
How
much money is available?

How
to apply
The application form is available by post, email

. Annual report & accounts and project budgets must be
submitted with all applications whether they are via the website,

think it might meet the Trustees' criteria. Trustees are keen
to spare charities the wasted time involved in applying when
there is no prospect of success.
