If you are a charity, voluntary or community organisation based and working in the West of England and are looking for funding to support the work you deliver, then we may be able to help.

Last year we awarded over 1,000 grants to organisations in our area, to a value of over £5 million. 80% of the total amount awarded went to organisations with an income of less than £500,000.

Open and trusting with IVAR

We strive to be as open and accessible as possible to local groups and organisations that need grant funding. That’s why we’re proud to be a signatory of IVAR’s commitment to open and trusting grant-making. You can find out more by clicking on the IVAR logo.
