Meet the Funders - Leathersellers Foundation on-line workshop

Members of the Network of Kindness are invited to this free workshop for churches and small charities to find out about grant funding opportunities from the Leathersellers Foundation.

This is an opportunity to hear from Stacey Lamb, Head of Charity Grants for the foundation. Open to Network of Kindness members only, this session runs on-line from 12.30-1.15 on Monday March 4th.

Stacey will present on the history of the Leathersellers Foundation, what grants they have to offer, how to apply and how to write successful funding applications.

The session will cover the Leathersellers’ two grant schemes:

Small Grants Programme – This offers grants of up to £5,000 to small UK charities that:

- Operate in a geographical area of deprivation in the UK

- Deliver activities to meet an identified need for vulnerable members of the community

- Have a planned expenditure of under £200,000 in 2023/24

Main Grants Programme – This offers unrestricted funding of up to £25,000 per year for up to 4 years to charities and CIOs that:

- Operate in the UK in an area of deprivation

- Are focused on preventing or supporting recovery from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)

- Use a trauma-informed approach and can demonstrate evidence-based interventions

- Are either lived-experience led or can show significant input from those with lived experience

- Have an annual income of between £200,000 and £2,000,000

There will be time for questions at the end of the session, so please bring your ideas to gain Stacey’s expert insight.

As Head of Charity Grants Stacey oversees the Leathersellers’ main grants programme, supporting charities working to prevent and tackle the consequences of adverse childhood experiences.

Before moving into grant-making roles, Stacey worked in frontline delivery and fundraising in the access to justice sector.

The workshop will be chaired by Together Liverpool Executive Director Rev James Green. James said: “We are delighted to be hosting our third Meet the Funders session, with the Leathersellers Foundation.

"Sarah brings a wealth of expertise and we encourage all Network of Kindness members to come along and benefit from her knowledge and insight.”

This session is offered free as part of the National Lottery-funded Network of Kindness project, run by Together Liverpool to support the growth of social action projects across the Diocese of Liverpool area.
