The Four Lanes Trust
Four Lanes Trust Grants
Small grants for local groups with ideas that will improve the lives of people in Basingstoke and the surrounding district. The trust's three priorities are social and community action, education (including schools, pre-schools and PTAs/friends groups) and the arts. It prefers small capital grants to general running costs, and most awards are between £500 and £1,500. The process is informal: after you apply, the Director meets you.
