Voluntary Action Camden

Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust Announce Themes for 2024/25 Funding

About the Fund

For 2024, we will be focussing on two key areas that are becoming increasingly apparent need support.

 

Disability will be the priority for the 1st and 2nd rounds – specifically projects and initiatives that improve employment and training.

 

Food poverty will be the priority for the 3rd and 4th rounds. Across the UK, it is clear this is a major issue, and we want to award grants to support projects addressing this.

 

For grant rounds 1 and 2 in 2025, we will be focussing on the arts and improving access, and for grant rounds 3 and 4, we will be focussing on refugees and asylum seekers. 

Application Deadline

  • Grant Round 1: 1st – 28th February
  • Grant Round 2: 1st – 30th April
  • Grant Round 3: 1st – 31st July
  • Grant Round 4: 1st – 30th September
