FCHO Grants and Contributions 2024/2025
Our average grant amount was £1,367 and our grant amounts ranged from between £750 to £2,250. We have made fewer grants than in the last financial year but with an overall increase in the value of those grants. After last year’s review of grant making there is also a focus in this year’s grants on community research and development support for partnerships/pilots with a view to external funding.
