Objectives

Our purpose is to develop local philanthropy, to give grants that improve life in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland, across many areas and needs, from homelessness to the environment to mental health.

 

Activities

We attract and manage grant-giving funds with and for families, individuals, companies, and government. We also revitalise inactive or dormant charities.

In the last two years alone, we have given more than £3m in grants with donors and funders to help our local communities though the pandemic.   We have an ambitious five year plan to develop more grant-giving funds to help keep Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland thriving.
