The Clare Milne Trust supports disability projects in Cornwall

The fund has 4 priorities: improving community spaces, providing a service the whole or identifiable parts of the community can benefit from, business and communities working together and charitable and voluntary organisations who support children and young people. Currently projects are also required to demonstrate how they are assisting their communities in addressing needs or enabling recovery from the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.

A grant can only be made by a sponsor or agency organisation, working to alleviate and prevent homelessness on behalf of the people they are supporting.

This year the fund is welcoming applications which meet one of the below priorities.
Organisations assisting young people to achieve their ambitions
Organisations supporting people with mental illness
Projects benefitting older people

An application for a grant must be made by an organisation for the benefit of any young person resident in Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly who requires support.

The Young and Talented Fund, now headed by Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall Colonel Edward Bolitho OBE, strives to help those young individuals who have demonstrated an outstanding talent in a particular field – such as sport, the arts, science, voluntary service and enterprise – but are struggling to achieve their ambition or progress in their chosen career because of hardship or disability.

The #iwillFund looks to support social action activities that create opportunities for young people aged 10-20 to develop their potential and their capacity to significantly contribute to their community. Social action involves activities such as campaigning, fundraising and volunteering and has huge potential to create enjoyable opportunities and skills development for young people, and in turn benefit the local people and places.
