Examples of fundable projects include diversionary and educational activities for young people, workshops, intergenerational projects, support for meeting places (community centres, village halls, playing fields), energy efficiency schemes such as ground source energy schemes, rain harvesting, including top up grants. Projects for older people may include help to tackle isolation, loneliness and dementia, volunteer costs, sitter and companionship. Grants of up to £5,000 are available to volunteer led not for profit community groups. The Trust will award grants to projects that benefit local people living within a ten mile radius of the wind farm site at Tydd St Mary ( priority will be given to those within a five mile radius).
Cavan and Hayley are excited that the Foundation has again been trusted to distribute substantial funding as part of the GRASSroots Scheme. The impact felt through previous iterations of the GRASSroots Programme has been immense and we look forward to working with East Lindsey District Council and grassroots level organisations in East Lindsey through the East Lindsey Investment Fund GRASSroots Scheme to support community-led initiatives which will propel East Lindsey forward in line with the priorities of the East Lindsey Investment Fund.
