Third sector organisations who need financial backing are being urged to apply for support from the Social Investment Fund as the deadline looms.
The grants of up to £25,000 can be used for one-off projects, capital expenses, running costs or certain salary costs, as long as they are within projects or on an exceptional basis.
Pictured: Guernsey Friends of Maggie's received £12,500 in 2023 which helped provide 250 visits to a cancer support specialist and property costs.
Last year over £111,000 was granted to charities, with a grand total of £941,707 being given away since 2021.
Last year's total helped Headway Guernsey pay their rent for the year, while Guernsey Netball Association used their £10,000 to help cover the salary costs of a Development Officer, and Vive La Vallette spent £6,000 on over a years worth of chair yoga sessions.
If you would like to know more about the Social Investment Fund, where the money ends up, how it is used, or how to apply before the closing date of 1 November, you can visit their website.
