Grove Trust Grants

---

2016
In order to allocate our funds for 2016 we asked our members to vote for three charities that we have supported in the past. The Grove Trust members decided to award money to these three exceptional charities: 
Family Friends, ClementJames and the SOS Project. 

It was agreed that two year funding should be awarded as this enables the charities to forward plan. Our goal is to provide a constant stream of funding to a few charities as this is the most difficult challenge facing all charities today. By an almost unanimous vote the money was allocated as follows:

£45,000 SOS Project to be spent on core costs.
£45,000 to Family Friends to be spent on core costs. 
£25,000 ClementJames to go towards the Community Hub providing literacy and numeracy support, advice and guidance.
