WATES FOUNDATION

Our commitment to climate change We recognise the impact of climate change and are committed to considering this across the work we fund, how we invest and in our daily operations. To support this we have joined other foundations in their pledge, recognising through our actions that we can play a part in addressing the causes of climate change and supporting adaptation to its effects. If you have been awarded a grant from the Foundation and have any questions, please do get in touch with the team who can be contacted via email; director@watesfoundation.org.uk.

Who they support

The Wates Foundation is a generalist grant maker, supporting issues that reflect the Wates Families’ broad range of philanthropic interests. These interests are categorised into seven themes: Building Social Values Promotion of the family unit; social and civic responsibilities; parenting and children; and culture. Education & Employment To address the needs of young people not in education, employment or training (NEETs). Community Health Wellbeing and, but not exclusively: addiction; mental health and disabilities; the aged and infirm; alternative and complementary practice. Environment We want the projects we fund to reduce the effects of climate change, assist places and people to adapt to our changing planet, and to support nature’s recovery across the UK. Life Transitions Preparing people for key transitions to facilitate informed and accessible changes in life circumstances. Addressing failure to deal adequately with key transitions, leading to negative outcomes in the short term and potentially in later life; promoting personal resilience, allowing beneficiaries to access life opportunities better, having achieved a key transition successfully. Safer Communities Criminal justice generally, but also crime in communities; alternatives to custody; preparing offenders for release; resettlement of offenders after release; female offenders. Strengthening the Charitable & Voluntary Sector Building the capacity and infrastructure of the charity and community sector: governance; improving the effectiveness of organisations; promoting quality and accreditation.

Grant criteria

The Wates Foundation is a proactive grant maker Wates Family members seek out charities to support, often from within their own community. This results in greater family engagement with the supported charity. Generally, a Wates Family member will lead a grant assessment visit and often return for a follow up visit as the grant progresses. We look for opportunities for cooperation between the Family committees and to work with other Wates Family charities in joint funding awards. This increases engagement and philanthropic giving by Family members across generations. These awards enable appropriate activities to be supported with larger awards and over longer periods of time and also reduce risk.

Grant details

The Wates Foundation is also keen to work with other funders outside of the Wates Family Charities. The Wates Foundation is a member of the Association of Charitable Foundations, London Funders and Clinks. Through these organisations and other providers, our trustees and committee members access regular training.

MELTON VINEYARD The funding would enable us to pay two staff members to work in communications, admin and professional development, training and supervision. Their time spent on these areas has increased considerably as the service has grown and expanded in working with individuals and groups. We provide one-to-one in person mental health support for depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, specialist trauma support and bereavement and loss. The current rate of expansion means that we couldn't sustain the level of excellence in our service in the future, providing a quick response to referrals and minimum waiting time, without a major increase in staff hours. Neither could we guarantee increase in volunteer listeners and trainee counsellors without the funding for staff with the necessary expertise to provide essential training. Our passion and plan is to develop more resources and offer more groups to provide help with abuse survivors, women?s issues and a holistic CBT group for anxiety and depression.

GIVE A BOOK Funding towards Raising Readers: a family reading project connecting parents with their children despite the distance and difficult circumstances. We send in 100 books every quarter from a bespoke booklist The booklists are refreshed quarterly, so there are always fun festive titles. The booklist is broken down into 6 age categories, and we let prisons choose how many of each title they'd like. The prison will have a better idea of the ages of the prisoners' children and may request more of one age band. With Raising Readers we offer the parent (or any relation - it can be opened up to uncles, siblings, grandparents etc) a copy both to gift their child the book along with a bookplate that they can fill in and stick in the cover, a message from them to make it that extra bit special which is then sent home and then the parent/relation can also keep a copy. This allows the family to share the story over the phone, on a video visit or during an in-person visit when possible.

THE KING'S ARMS YOUTH PROJECT The aim of this project is to support Young Carers. Funding towtards running an "exploration programme" that helps young carers to understand their role, the challenges they face, and what support is available to them. Specifically, the aims of the exploration programme are for the young people: To have increased self-esteem Many Young Carers struggle to cope with their caring roles. They may lack confidence, have low self-esteem or struggle with their identity. They may feel guilty that they are not doing a good enough job either by not caring properly or not looking after siblings needs; at the same time they may feel resentment or not look after themselves at the expense of others. They may feel frustrated at having no control. They may feel they are an expert in their family but nobody takes their views seriously. They can become very disheartened about their own personal future resulting in apathy towards their education. They often have lower grades than their contemporaries. They can have low school attendance or have risky behaviours. To have greater emotional resilience Young Carers often have a lack of appropriate emotional support. They do not want to put their already strained parents under additional pressure. They often do not want to identify themselves as a Young Carer due to fear, stigma or being negatively labelled. They do not want to stand out as being different for fear of bullying. They may worry about what is going on at home and how they are coping at school. They may have feelings they do not understand. They often do not have time to spend with friends or be involved in out of school activities and they can feel no sense of relief from the complexities of their life. It is often said that they miss childhood experiences and the opportunity to be "normal". To have better positive relationships Young Carers often feel isolated and lonely. They can experience a lack of empathy from friends who do not understand their caring role. They can feel they are an outsider and that no one understands their situations. They can hide their caring role from other relatives, friends, schools, medics and services through lack of trust or fear of intervention. They may fear being judged, letting the family down, having the family split up and being terrified of being taken into care. They may have a lack of appropriate parental input or little opportunity to have positive, quality family time. They may not have someone they can talk to who understands.

DREAMFLIGHT Each year Dreamflight takes a plane full of children (with a serious illness or disability) to Orlando for 10 days. The trip gives them a chance to discover independence, confidence and a whole new outlook on life. The aim of our project each year is to give 192 children (from 12 separate regions of the UK) a holiday of a lifetime. During the trip, we visit a different theme park or attraction each day (eg Universal Studios, Hollywood Studios, SeaWorld etc) and provide entertainment each morning and evening. Dreamflight aims to help these children realise their potential by doing something medicine can't: give confidence, independence and a sense of fun. With the help of our team of volunteer doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other volunteers we take the children (without parents) on a 'holiday of a lifetime'. They meet others in a similar situation, develop lifelong friendships and, for once, are not the "odd one out". This grant of £10,000 would fund tickets for all 192 children for a whole day in Universal Studios; which is the favourite park consistently when we survey the children after the trip. The cost of each child ticket on our last trip (just for Universal Studios) was £52 x 192 = £9984. This year, we are expecting that cost to rise slightly.

SOUNDABOUT For this project, we will plan and deliver four Multi-Sensory Festivals (two days each) in accessible and inspiring learning settings in areas where there is a strong need for more multi-sensory activities for children and young people with profound and severe learning disabilities through our links with families, local schools and groups. The number of beneficiaries will be at least 120 children and young people with learning disabilities as well as 100 parents/carers and SEN teachers. Through this project, Soundabout aims to unlock the potential of Disabled children and young people by helping them to develop their sensory engagement and ability to communicate and interact with the world around them through music and sound. Our experience shows that enabling people with disabilities to enjoy communicating through patterns of sound and silence motivates them to develop imaginative thinking and core learning, listening, and communication skills. There will also be long-term sustainable benefits as teachers and parents/carers will learn Soundabout techniques to help their Disabled children continue to enjoy music making at home and school.

PRISONERS ABROAD This application is for funding towards our Family and Resettlement Services. Family Service. Families describe the trauma of finding out that their loved one has been arrested. This is exacerbated by hearing they are being held in a different country with language barriers and different legal processes.

They can be disowned by family for supporting the person in prison, may feel guilt or blame themselves for what the prisoner has done. Last year, we supported 1,457 family members.

TOWNER Funding towards Soft Structures: the adult strand of the new community outreach programme for Shinewater and Seaside, two of Eastbourne's most disadvantaged communities. In partnership with 3VA, a voluntary organisation supporting volunteer and social action, we will offer creative making-based workshops every two weeks from this autumn in both Shinewater and Seaside for two adult community groups and resident artists to co-create new work together. Exploration and making, testing and reflection will be at the heart of the creative process, with the two appointed artists using the knowledge and interests of the group as material for future activities. Through their conversations and experiences of working with different materials, the participants may choose to work in film, sculpture, paint, animation, performance, murals, textiles or other formats. By developing intuition and materials knowledge, working collaboratively and having fun, participants will explore their sense of place and develop their own artist practice. They will learn new skills, grow in confidence and experience the benefits of creativity and creative thinking in life.

Funding from The Wates Foundation will help us tell the stories of these transitions to raise awareness and share our impact amongst the community.

Outputs will be increased using a social enterprise model that benefits the Farm?s social impact project participants; providing new opportunities to connect with nature, overcome mental health challenges and find meaningful work experience opportunities, whilst promoting biodiversity and nature recovery. With funding, our Director and Communications Lead will establish the systems and processes needed to increase visitor donations and contributions towards unrestricted income and enhance delivery of our charitable aims. Areas for development over the next 12-months include: increasing on-site donations; launching a new farm shop; growing more food and developing products that can be sold on site and at farmer?s markets; establishing the new café ensuring it is profitable in its first year; establishing our Roots to Work programme, providing skills, training and work experience opportunities to help people back to work; launching a new alternative provision programme for young people that don?t fit into mainstream education; re-launching our membership; going live with a new website and embedding new branding across the site; and launching a public fundraising crowdfunder campaign.
