It's April Fools today but we never joke about funding. The bots have a nice new core funder for small charities. Bentley Motors – Advancing Life Chances National Fund - focusing on Access, Empowerment, Quality of Life and a Better Future. Core funding of £2,000 to £4,000. It says registered charities and non profits but unregistered groups can apply too. Income must be no more than £500k and you must be within 20 miles of the 17 Bentley dealerships or their HQ in Crewe. There's a list in the downloadable guidance. Priority groups - Families and single person households living in poverty, Long term unemployed, People experiencing homelessness, People with disabilities and their support animals, Racially minoritised groups/communities, Refugees and asylum seekers, The elderly, Young people facing disadvantage, including school or college pupils, those Not in Education or Training, and young offenders. There is no deadline.
