Grant Funding

The team of NCA are truly grateful and appreciative of the support received from the Charity Service Discretionary Fund. We applied for and received a grant of £10,000 which saved our local weekly Community Diner offering social connection with a freshly hot cooked meal with a smile. We have already connected with 84 different people and this funding will allow us to connect with so many more. This is not only thanks from NCA but the community of Northmoor which the Diner serves.

Trustees from the Manchester and Salford Medical Charitable Fund invited us to apply for funding in support of this requirement. We were successful in receiving a grant of £10,000, which in turn bought eight much-needed specialist beds. These beds are already in situ, providing flexibility in care and ease of portability to help our in-patient nurses and doctors. We cannot thank The Charity Service enough for their speedy response in enabling us to continue providing much need care to local people.

On behalf of everyone at Mustard Tree, I would like to offer our thanks for the support of the Charity Service Discretionary Fund. The support for our Food Club will have a hugely positive impact on the lives of people in poverty and facing homelessness in Manchester. Funding will enable people struggling to make ends meet to access the support they are entitled to and access our holistic package of opportunities.

The Charity Service has generously supported our Crisis Fund, to provide immediate tailored practical help to low income families in emergency situations. Wood Street Mission supports families living in Manchester and Salford who struggle each day to make ends meet. The COVID19 pandemic has impacted on these families the hardest. Having this funding in place from The Charity Service has meant we have been able to respond quickly to need as it arises. It has been vital in helping us support families who have found themselves in very difficult circumstances, to help improve the day to day life of their children. The Charity Service have been very supportive of our work and we appreciate the opportunity to form a positive relationship with them for the benefit of those in Manchester and Salford.

The Charity Service have provided the Booth Centre with invaluable grant funding, both to weather the challenges of the pandemic as well as to help us run our activities on an ongoing basis. At the Booth Centre we help hundreds of people affected by homelessness every year, and funding from the Charity Service has been instrumental in allowing us to offer a range of different services to support people to move forward in their lives. We are so appreciative of the open, friendly and professional communication we have always received from the Charity Service and proud to count them as a valued partner.

The Charity Service are very clear about the projects it would like to support and in our experience the funding application process has been straightforward and uncomplicated and they have worked with us to develop a positive funding relationship. Communication has been clear and they have always been happy to answer any queries. We are proud to have received funding from the Charity Service for our work supporting vulnerable people in Greater Manchester. The Charity Service demonstrate a consistent commitment to making the lives of local people better and we truly appreciate the support.
