Comic Relief grant for gypsy and traveller projects

Howard Lake | 1 March 2005 | News

As the 10th Comic Relief event gets nearer, and its fundraising activities increasingly dominate media reports, it is worth remembering that the charity is also a major grant-making organisation.

One of Comic Relief’s smaller grants programmes is The Small Grants Fund for Gypsy & Traveller Projects, which applies throughout the UK.

Groups are invited to apply for funding from this fund which is aimed at helping to set up Gypsy and Traveller groups at a local level to address many of the social problems faced by these groups. Grants of £3,000 are available to help with the running costs including office and administration expenses, such as telephone, rent, insurance and heat and light; stationery and printing; sessional worker and volunteer costs; travel costs; computer and equipment costs; consultancy costs; and other costs of running a project.

Applications can be made at any time.
