We are looking to fund projects that seek to make access to hospice and end of life care more equitable for anybody who needs it.
Major grants of up to £25,000 are available for projects running over 18 months. This can be to implement work which either:
-
address the findings from seedcorn grant activities, if appropriate
-
support new, larger stand-alone projects, demonstrating a clear evidence of need.
Available funding for major grants
Total available funding in this final grant round is £200,000. We expect to make between six and eight grants in that round.
Deadlines
Deadline for applications was 19 December 2011. Applicants will be informed of the outcome by the middle of March 2012.
