Croydon 60+ Benevolent Fund Ltd

Our Aims

To promote the welfare of older people living in the London Borough of Croydon in

any manner which now is or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable

How we achieve this .......

The Croydon 60+ Benevolent Fund Ltd can provide financial support, by means of a

grant, to successful applicants who demonstrate that the money will be applied to, and

for the benefit of, local residents in Croydon who are aged 60 and over. Grants can be

awarded for specific purposes, such as help towards the cost of projects to provide

improvements to new or existing services or infrastructure, or one off events.

Applicants are required to complete and submit an Application Form, having first

carefully read the accompanying Application Process

(Both documents are available on the 'Downloads' page).

All Applications will be reviewed by the board of directors.

Not all applications will be successful. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified giving a

reason for the refusal. However, unsuccessful applicants can re-apply if they can meet

the requirements defined in the Process.

Successful applicants will be notified and will be required to provide evidence of how

the grant was spent and how the success of the use of the grant was measured.

We may ask that successful applicants allow us to publicise the successful use of the

grant to help others understand how the grants can benefit the recipients and to

encourage them to apply.

Our funding is limited by decisions of the board of directors and grants are normally

given in a range up to £1,000.00 unless exceptional circumstances allow additional

consideration.

A maximum annual fund amount has been allocated to provide grants. Once that limit

is reached, no further grants can be considered during that year except by a specific

resolution of the board of directors.
