Woodward Charitable Trust: Playschemes
The Woodward Charitable Trust is a grant-making trust and is one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. Each year the trustees of the Woodward Charitable Trust set aside funds for summer playschemes for children between the ages of 5-16 years. Most grants awarded are in the range of £500 to £1,000. Around 35 grants are made each year.

Scheme details
This scheme is only for playschemes that run for a minimum of 2 weeks or 10 days across the summer holidays.

NB Grants can only be paid to registered charities. If you are not a registered charity, please give full name and address of a registered charity who has agreed to accept a grant on your behalf. Please note they will need a copy of their most recent audited accounts.

Preference is given to:
small local playschemes that provide a wide-ranging programme of activities
schemes that involve a large number of children
schemes catering for those from disadvantaged backgrounds or that have a disability
schemes that are inclusive such as projects that work with children from a range of backgrounds, abilities and race
schemes where past users are encouraged to come back and help as volunteers
Potential applicants may telephone Karin Hooper, on 020 7410 0330 to discuss their work only if they think it might meet the Trustees’ criteria and seek further advice. Trustees are keen to spare charities the wasted time involved in applying when there is no prospect of success.
