Guernsey charities urged to apply for social fund grants

The Social Investment Fund has opened applications for its major grants scheme
Guernsey charities have been urged to apply for grants of more than £25,000.
The grants will come from the Social Investment Fund, which last year awarded more than £1.3m to 14 different organisations.
Funds can be used for running costs, salaries and capital costs. Applications must be made by 4 April.
The Fund's lead officer, Sadie Siviter de Paucar, said she hoped the scheme would help support charities recovering from the impact of Covid-19.
"Charities are still struggling from the effects of the pandemic and from operating in an increasingly difficult environment," she said.
Created in 2020 the fund invests both public and privately-donated money in the third sector within the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
