Funding Description
The Rayne Trust is fostering the establishment of new community centers in underprivileged areas of the UK, focusing on holistic and multifunctional facilities.
• Program Development: The Rayne Trust is initiating a program called Where People Meet to support the creation of community centers in disadvantaged UK areas, although it is not yet open for grant applications.
• Importance of Community Spaces: Community spaces are essential for social interaction, health, well-being, and cultural activities, particularly in deprived areas.
• Collaborative Efforts: The program will collaborate with expert partners, local communities, and authorities to identify pilot sites and design new community centers, supported by a multidisciplinary network of advisers.
Eligibility Information
The Rayne Foundation supports projects in the UK that can make a real difference, focusing on older people, mental health for youth, and opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers.
• They welcome applications from voluntary, statutory, and not-for-profit organizations, but not from individuals or those outside the UK.
• Projects should drive societal change and offer lessons for others, with a focus on innovation, collaboration, and lasting impact.
• They don't fund routine running costs, capital expenses, medical research, or projects outside their priority areas. High-reserve organisations need to justify their position, and those with low reserves must show viability.
