There are hundreds of grant giving trusts in the UK donating to causes of all shapes and sizes. One of the best free sources of information about such organisations is the Funder Finder Database.
There are also some fantastic books published on an annual basis that detail the funding priorities and application guidelines for the trusts, for example, the Directory of Social Change's Directory
of Grant Making Trusts, your local library will hold copies of these books. Many grant giving trusts only donate to registered charities, so remember to check whether you are eligible to apply.

Community Video.
Community groups in Dyke House ward in Hartlepool have banded together to form an umbrella organisation called Communities Acting Together (CAT). As one of the most deprived wards in Hartlepool the area is benefiting
from Neighbourhood Renewal Fund. CAT has been working in partnership with various agencies to tackle issues such as community safety, housing conditions and support for parents and young children.
The group has engaged a local media company to help them put together a community video. The video will be filmed in two parts and will initially document local people's perceptions of their neighbourhood.
A follow up, to be filmed after six months, will gauge whether the various projects are improving the quality of life for local people. The video will also be used to promote the involvement of residents in the
renewal process and hopefully inspire others, both in Hartlepool and beyond.
