New Grant Making Trust Launched
PAR002_123 • Jan 01, 2020
A new grant making Trust has been launched helping community and voluntary organisations operating in Essex and Suffolk.
The Tudwick Foundation provides support, principally by direct contributions, to small organisations for specific and well-defined projects directed to charitable purposes according to the laws of England and Wales in the geographical regions
of Essex and Suffolk. Funding will be prioritised for community projects where the greatest
number of people will benefit, mainly voluntary organisations and community groups that are
addressing outstanding social needs. The charity is happy to support requests for core funding
as well as project-based grants, and actively encourages applications from relatively new
organisations to help them become established. For more information and application details please visit the charity's website www.tudwickfoundation.org.uk.

In February 2020 Grassroots gave £1000 to Tendring community Voluntary Services towards getting their Dovercourt Community Allotment up and running. The community allotment has been a life line for residents over recent days and weeks. Although the site has only been used by a few people during covid-19, the benefits to those people have been life changing. One said “without the allotment to visit life could have been much harder. I don’t know how I would have coped”. Members who have been shielding have been painting stones to label the vegetables whilst at home. This has given everyone things to do even if they have not been physically able to attend the site.
The Victorian Christmas Market proved a festive hit once again and Grassroots' trustees raised £131 by raffling delicious Christmas Hampers. A big thank you to all who took part.
Making the most of the summer weather, trustees, supporters and grant recipients came together in June 2019 to celebrate 30 years of supporting the local community through small grants and practical help.
