THE CONCERTINA CHARITABLE TRUST

Grants of up to £250 are available for small charitable organisations in England and Wales for activities that provide musical entertainment for elderly people in need.

_________

 

o Application window: SATURDAY 30th APRIL 2022.

 

o Who can apply: smaller charitable organisations in England and Wales who would otherwise find it difficult to attract funding from elsewhere.

The Concertina Charitable Trust is a very modest grant-making charity which makes small grants to charitable bodies in England and Wales that are involved with the provision of musical entertainment for the elderly. Activities funded are expected to brighten the lives of older people and also provide a therapeutic benefit to their health and wellbeing. Concertina is keen to support smaller organisations who might find it difficult to find funding from elsewhere. The Trust has previously enabled a number of care homes to provide musical entertainment for their residents.

Grants of up to £250 are available with no matched funding requirement. However, the Trust is happy for its grant to count as matched funding for applications to other funders.

 

Further information and guidance is available on the Trust’s website.

Applications should be made in writing (emailed applications are not accepted) and should include a copy of the applicant’s most recent financial statements or accounts.

The Trust has two application deadlines each year, on:

o 30th April, and
o 31st September.

The next application deadline is therefore Saturday 30th April 2022.
