The Weavers’ Company Charitable Grants are available to small voluntary organisations with an annual income of no more than £250,000. Preference is given to pump priming new projects, especially those which are innovative and can serve as a model elsewhere.
What projects are supported?
The grants fund projects that work with young offenders and ex-offenders in custody and the community, and young people living in disadvantage.
In custodial settings, projects that boost prisoners’ self-esteem have been supported, including using music, embroidery, counselling, letter writing, and the staffing of a restaurant to teach practical skills and to improve job prospects on release.
Projects that help the rehabilitation of ex-offenders include employment in horticulture, driving lessons in return for voluntary work, and training to run crime diversion schemes for teenagers.
