Small grants
Our small grants (up to £1,500) can be used for any project that benefits people in our region affected by cancer.
About our small grants
Small grants (£1,500 and under) are reviewed by the Small Grants Panel, an internal panel of charity staff from across the departments. They have been delegated authority to make the final decision on these grants.
Our application process is open and transparent, and will be communicated to applicants at all stages.
Unsuccessful applicants will be given the reason for the outcome; however the Board’s decision is full and final and may not be appealed.
Our small grants can be used for any project that benefits people in our region affected by cancer. Projects may be to enhance treatment within the hospital, provide other forms of support in the community, or to fund a small research project.
Anyone with an idea for a project. Applications are accepted year-round.
Contact us – email grants@wpcancercharity.org.uk or give us a call (0114 553 3330) to discuss your ideas and request an application form.
