Parent Toddler Group- What Funding Is Available?

[Guest]

My husband runs a parent toddler group at the school I teach. It's lovely group and parents have donated the toys etc themselves. It is now needing to replace toys but the school is unable to offer storage so money saved for toys is needing to go towards storage.

 

I was wondering if anyone knew where he might be able to apply to get funds for equipment etc

 

cheers

Our town has a 'local charities' organisation and anyone you approach them for funding, they assess your needs and decide whether to give you money or not.

 

We also have a carnival every year and the money raised can be applied for, for good causes.

 

Does your town anything like this that you can apply to.

How about National Lottery - Awards for All? Quite a straightforward application process and quite quick as well.

If you have a local Co-op they should have a community fund that will donate to local groups. Ours has been very generous and often they are struggling to give the money away.

Try contacting your local branch of PSLA and/or your borough's EY's. Both of ours are very helpful to Toddler groups. PSLA has a Toddler Development Worker and our local branch has just voted to give the four groups in our area that are members a small grant each for resources.
