Abbey still seeking applications for £100,000 from Camden groups

Howard Lake | 3 August 2004 | News

Abbey is still encouraging applications from groups in Camden, London for funding from its £100,000 Community Programme for that area.

In June 2004 Abbey announced a £100,000 Community Programme to fund projects
in the Camden area. Proposals have been received from all sections of the
community, but Abbey says that there are still opportunities available for local charities before the application deadline of 30 August 2004.

Applications for grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 will still be considered by Abbey’s Charitable Trust, for projects that meet any of the following criteria:

• local regeneration which encourages cross-community partnerships;
• education and training;
• financial advice which helps people to manage their money

Decisions on applications received will be made in early September 2004, and the
successful projects will be announced shortly afterwards.

Alan Eagle, Manager of Abbey’s Charitable Trust, hopes that more organisations will come forward with project proposals before the deadline. “This is a fantastic opportunity for charities working in the Camden area”, said Alan. “Abbey has a major presence in Camden, in one of our head office
sites, and we are keen to support the regeneration of the areas in which we
work.”

The money given to support Camden charities is part of a wider donation
programme that will see Abbey supporting different areas of the UK.

Charities who wish to apply for funding should call the Trust’s helpline on 0870 608 0104 or visit Abbey’s Web site.
