The deadline for [applications](http://www.genesisha.org.uk/genesis_community/genesis_community_foundation.aspx)
is 23^(rd) January.

 

The Foundation has awarded over £75,000 in small grants since 2014 to projects including
holistic therapy workshops, craft sessions for older people and a community choir.
Successful bidders will need to evidence the project’s benefit to Genesis residents
but can also cater for the wider community.

 

Muriel Bankhead, head of research and analysis, Genesis Housing Association, said:

 

> “We’re delighted to be making further funding available to support the great work
> of small grassroots projects. The Foundation’s work chimes strongly with our commitment
> to improving well-being at the heart of our communities.”
