Thonock Trust

This is family-funded trust for people in Gainsborough, Corringham, Blyton, Springthorpe and Lea.

The main themes are Education & Older People.

We make grants to community groups, schools and further education providers for cultural activities, personal development opportunities and extra curricular activities (outings and activities) & to older people support (dementia care, nutrition, exercise, transport) & to individuals to help them into training or work (course materials, uniforms, transport, skills training).

Both statutory bodies and not for profit groups can apply for up to £2,000 (although the average grant is likely to be £1,500). Individuals can apply for up to £200.

Deadlines for receipt of applications are on 1st June and 1st November each year.
