Who We Will Work With

The priority of the Barrow Cadbury Trust is to fund grassroots, user-led projects. We favour innovative and visionary projects that are likely to have a high impact on social change, either at a policy or practice level. We will support projects that other funders consider risky and place great emphasis on projects that have strong leadership and are backed by local communities.

Projects we typically support are:

• Led by users
• Run by dynamic leaders
• Using innovative and un-tested approaches
• Working with partners to solve problems
• Happy to share knowledge and experience
• Supporting marginalised people and disaffected individuals and communities
• Based in the West Midlands

Groups applying must fall within our objectives of promoting a fair, equal, peaceful and democratic society, as well as meeting the criteria within one of our three programme areas.
