Two types of small grants (up to £300) are available:
- Community grants: For organisations and communities planning private remembrance events, either in person or online, to share memories and solace.
- Public grants: For organisations organising interactive public events such as concerts, exhibitions, or installations, open to the public.
The fund aims to support storytelling and remembrance activities. Past events have included concerts, poetry nights, craft activities, memory-sharing events, storytelling suppers, and exhibitions. Creative and innovative ideas suited to local groups and communities are encouraged.
Any organisation with a bank account can apply, including charities, community groups, care homes, NHS organisations, small businesses, prisons, arts organisations, and educational institutions. The application deadline is 2 September 2024.
