Capital grants of up to £3,000 for work to improve the quality of life for local people, including elderly and disadvantaged people.  Apply in April, May, July or August 2012.

The Edward Harvist Trust Capital Grants Fund makes small grants for the following purposes:

• The relief of elderly and disadvantaged residents;
• The relief of distress and sickness;
• The provision and support of facilities for recreation and leisure with the aim of improving the quality of life;
• The provision and support of educational facilities;
• Any other charitable purposes.

The funds are used for one-off capital grants rather than towards running costs. Preferably this takes the form of items of equipment rather than general contributions towards large capital costs, such as the purchase of a building.
