Funding for Summer Playschemes (UK)

[Penny McLean]

The Hilden Charitable Fund has announced that is now accepting
applications to help community groups run Summer Playschemes for the
benefit of children from refugee and ethnic minority families. Funding
of up to £1,000 is available for Summer Playschemes for children aged
5 - 18 years lasting for 2 - 6 weeks with strong volunteer support.

The funding is available to voluntary agencies with an income of less
than £150,000. In addition to the Summer Playschemes the Hilden
Charitable Fund provides grants to community and voluntary
organisations for projects and activities which are unlikely to raise
funds from public sources, known sometimes as 'unpopular causes. The
closing date for applications for Summer Playschemes is the 8th May
2009....
