Stratford Town Trust has £1 Million to Give to our Community!

Stratford's £1million CommYOUnity Challenge

What would YOU do?

Stratford Town Trust, a local grant giving charity, has launched a major new funding initiative – Stratford's £1 Million Community Challenge. 

An incredible £1 million is now available in funding.  A fantastic opportunity for members of this community to receive the money they need to get their ideas and projects up and running.

Speaking about the launch, Helen Munro, the Town Trust's new Chief Executive said: “We are looking for great ideas and innovative projects that would make Stratford a better place to live and work. These projects will need to be significant as the minimum amount successful applicants will receive is £200,000. There's even the real possibility that we may choose to award the entire £1 million to just one amazing project!

This money is in addition to the substantial sums that the Town Trust awards, each quarter, through our main grants giving programme."

Stratford Town Trust is committed to promoting local people's welfare and wellbeing; to strengthening the town's communities, and providing opportunities for its people. The Stratford £1 Million Community Challenge can make this happen; they just need your ideas.

Anyone can put forward an idea, whether or not they live in Stratford-upon-Avon, but the successful project must be for the benefit of the people of the town.  Applications are welcomed from organisations, informal groups and individuals, aged 18 and over and will need to be submitted by 29^th May 2013.

In July 2013, the Town Trust plans to select up to 12 of the best ideas so that these can be more fully developed and funding applications can be made. Help and financial support will be provided during this stage. The winning projects (or project) will be announced in February 2014 at the Pride of Stratford Awards.

If you, your group or community project needs funding, they would love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your ideas to life, do something special, and make a difference in your community.
