pinpoint parent group bursaries

We have once again set aside some of our Department for Education (DfE) grant to provide bursaries to parent-led groups supporting parents of disabled children and young people around Cambridgeshire who need a helping hand to get set up, keep going, or develop into new areas. We have a small pot of £3000 and hope to support 10 groups with up to £300 each. If you would like to know more, email Lynn or Lenja for more information. Applications can be made now, and will be assessed on a first come, first served basis. We will ask you to complete a simple action plan, and sign a bursary agreement form. Both of these can be downloaded below. Funds will be available from September 2011 and you will need to be able to spend your money by end March 2012.

The True Colours trust

The True Colours Trust through its small grants programme is inviting applications for grants of up to £10,000 from small organisations in the UK, to help them develop and deliver programmes for disabled children, their sibling and families. The fund is particularly keen to support hydrotherapy pools, multi sensory rooms, mini buses, young carers' projects, sibling projects and bereavement support. There are no application deadlines and applications can be submitted at any time.
