Skipton Charitable Foundation funding is intended for UK registered charities whose purpose is to:
- Benefit children and adults particularly those living in socially deprived areas, through education to develop core skills and support wellbeing and mental health.
- Benefit the wellbeing and welfare of children and adults by preventing or reducing poverty and homelessness in the community.
- Support the elderly and improve their wellbeing by reducing isolation, helping reduce the effects of Dementia and Alzheimer's and support later life/palliative care.
Small grants are available to UK-registered charities, for items or activities that have tangible benefit to the charity's beneficiaries. For example, to:
- Support young people as they transition from homelessness to new accommodation such as toiletries, bedding, cooking utensils.
- Engage the elderly in activities, exercise and experiences to help improve mental and physical wellbeing such as a large, digital interactive activity table for a care setting.
