Children With Special Needs Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your work supports children with special needs in Surrey, East Berkshire or North Hampshire, or very talented children who struggle to reach their potential without help, it fits the foundation's themes of equipment, holidays, tuition and essential care.
- Its stated purpose, however, names Surrey Heath and the areas immediately around it, so check your location against both descriptions before you apply.
- The annual report gives one total of £167,628 that may include grants to individuals, and no typical or largest grant is stated, so keep any request modest and tied to a specific item, service or activity.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and the trustees consider and approve claimants at regular trustee meetings; no detail is given on how often these meet, so ask the foundation when the next one falls.
- No detail is given on how competitive the foundation is or whether it works mainly through existing contacts.
