The Trust is delighted to announce the award of grants worth just under £2 million at our June 2017 Grants Committee Meeting.
Grants awarded on our Investing in Londoners programme included:
- £73,700 to Royal Court Theatre for refurbishment work which will make their building fully accessible for people with disabilities
- £98,600 to Toynbee Hall towards their Wellbeing Centre providing services and activities for older people
- £123,840 to The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust for salary costs of their advice project which will help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
In addition, five Strategic Initiatives were announced, included three grants to provide additional resources and support within the LGBT sector. These resulted from a special meeting of the LGBT sector convened by the Trust and a report by Trust for London called “Still Out There” which identified a number of issues which had led to the closure of some organisations in the sector.
