Office of the Third Sector Hardship Fund grant success
 |
Congratulations to Midas client, Kith and Kids,
and our colleague Fabienne Poulet on securing a
grant of £51,873 from the Office of the Third
Sector Hardship Fund, towards the charity’s
‘Connecting Families’ project. The grant will
fill the gap left by a drop in income from their
community fundraising activities. This brings
to over £700,000 the sum that Fabienne has
helped Kith and Kids to raise from trusts and
the Lottery since 2003 for its work with
profoundly disabled young adults in North
London. |

Unpublished charitable trusts and foundations in
Hampshire |

 |
Midas has just published a new directory of unpublished charitable
trusts and foundations operating and giving in
Hampshire. The majority of the trusts are
interested in supporting organisations in
specific areas of Hampshire, giving away grants
of up to £5,000, and with whom it would be well
worth cultivating a long term relationship. The
directory has been researched by Midas and the
trusts are not listed on other online
directories. The price is £150 and more details
are available from
