Quartet Community Foundation
Who they support
The Foundation awards grants to support community based work that has a charitable purpose. Primarily grants are awarded to organisations based and working in the West of England to benefit local people and where a relatively small amount of funding can make a significant difference.
Grant criteria
They award grants covering a broad range of issues and welcome applications from both new and established groups. Please see: https://quartetcf.org.uk/apply-for-a-grant

The grant was funded by Corrigan Accountants, who were keen to fund a second year. The grant will be used to take parents and children to Wild Place Project. From their Express application last year: "Many of our families live in high rise flats and have little or no access to outdoor spaces. We live in one of the poorest areas in the country. New 2019 deprivation data shows that Bristol has 41 areas in the most deprived 10% in England. www.bristol.gov.uk/deprivation Through the learning observations that we make on the children when they start the setting and the home visits that we make prior to the children staring, we can see that most of these children do not have opportunities to enjoy visits to parks and nature Reserves.£ | |
