Over the last three years The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund (PWCF) has awarded more than £600,000 to organisations and projects with a commitment to helping older people. Through our grant programmes, we have partnered with various organisations including Re-Engage, Erskine Hospital, Shared Lives Plus, Penny Brohn UK, Good Companions, Omega and the Carers Trust, to transform lives and promote social inclusion.

Toonspeak are on a mission to transform lives through creativity, supported by the Prince of Wales’s Charitable Fund (PWCF). The charity runs free artist led workshops and creative projects for young people from across Glasgow, often during school holidays and always at zero cost to participants. The workshops and projects engage vulnerable children and families in deprived areas, and have a huge impact on those who participate.

We are delighted to reopen our small grant programme for applications from UK registered not-for-profit organisations. We are interested in considering funding applications for projects that would benefit a diverse group or community. We are also keen to support projects in deprived communities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
