Skipton welcomes applications for its Community Fund

Friday 31 August 2018

Skipton International is urging more local charities and community projects to step forward and apply for a grant from the Skipton Community Fund.

The pan-Island Fund was launched in 2018 and has provided grants to support many not-for-profit projects.

Aaron Walden, Commercial Manager, Skipton International said: “The purpose of the Fund is to support those smaller projects who may not get as much media attention, but who would bring a benefit to the wider community.

“In Guernsey, we have had a real variety of applicants and have supported projects from housing the Christmas nativity scene to sponsoring the costumes for a production of the Wizard of Oz! Community really is at the heart of Skipton’s business, so we are looking for any project that will bring life, colour and joy to our islands.”
