At its recent meeting on the 14th July, the Trust’s Committee was pleased to approve grants totalling over £1.8 million to 20 charities across London. These included awards for a combined amount of over £300,000 to three organisations which use the arts in different ways to benefit society, from supporting disabled artists, to educating children and young people about healthy relationships helping to prevent abuse and sexual violence.
Another grant awarded to the Centre for Accessible Environments (a subsidiary of Habinteg Housing) will continue our Access & Sustainability Advisory Service for applicants looking to make their buildings more accessible. Details of this service can be found on our Making London More Inclusive programme.
