A CHARITABLE foundation has launched a new funding programme to support other charities and community groups with social mobility and youth provision.
The Persimmon Charitable Foundation has opened applications for its £200,000 fund. Applications are now open for two £50,000 donations, which will be awarded in May.
A second round of funding will open in June, with an additional two £50,000 donations awarded in September.
The aim of the programme is to give more charities and community groups the opportunity to access Foundation donations. Applications are encouraged from organisations that focus on social mobility and youth development, including learning and training.
Anthony Vigor, chair of the Foundation, said: “This new open application programme will create new opportunities for us to support organisations that tackle inequality and aid social mobility, helping us to change more lives.”
The charitable foundation is a cause run by Persimmon Homes – UK house builders who develop all across the nation including in the Worcestershire and the West Midlands.
The deadline for applications for the first round of funding is 11.59pm on Sunday, April 13.
