Aspers Good Causes Fund
About the Aspers Good Causes Fund
The fund opened in 2012/13 to any organisation working in the fields of education, art, dance, music, sport and the environment. Ninety-nine projects have now been successful in receiving awards. Eighteen organisations funded during 2018 are listed below.
2019 grants application
- offers value for money
- is inclusive and open to all
- helps residents and communities become more active
- contributes to the quality of life of Newham residents.
Who should apply?
Preference will be given to projects that:
- support people through coaching, tutoring or access to new opportunities in one of the eligible fields of activity.
- provide exceptional life building experiences working with a project or activity in these fields.
- enable people to develop new skills and/or practice and improve skills, building their confidence and knowledge.
- allow people to participate in projects where there may otherwise be financial barriers to their involvement, by keeping charges at reasonable levels.
- provide positive and engaging activities which build confidence and enable people to widen their experience and interests.
- support residents to organise their own activities and encourage others to get involved in their local community.
- provide activities that can become sustainable and led by residents in the longer term.
- engage residents who have not previously been involved in these activities.
Previously successful organisations can apply again this year but this must be for a new or different purpose. The specific projects that were funded before will not be eligible for a further grant this year. Aspers is unable to provide ongoing funding to any project.
