The Henry Smith Charity aims to bring about lasting change to people’s lives, helping them to benefit from and contribute to society. We achieve this by funding organisations that work with people to reduce social and economic disadvantage. We want to help people for whom other sources of support have failed, been inappropriate or are simply not available. To achieve this we aim to make grants that work towards one or more of our key values.

• Increasing resilience

• Creating opportunities and life chances

• Empowering communities

Building on the success of last year’s online funding fair we are doing something a little bigger this year over 3 days

Tuesday 23rd March is a day for Yorkshire and Humber funders

Wednesday 24th March is a day of national funders

Thursday 25th March is another day of national funders

How this will work is each funder has been allocated a 30 minute session using Zoom to explain what funding they have and also how the application process works. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. You will need to book separately for each session you wish to attend.

The funders attending so far are:

• Tudor Trust

• Children in Need

• Allen Lane Foundation

• lloyds bank foundation

• Henry Smith Charity

• Good Things Foundation

we are waiting for more funders to confirm their places.

This is a FREE event but if you fancy helping us with the costs you can donate the cost of a coffee
