For the third year running, Prostate UK are generously making available funds for small grants to be paid to patient support groups that are members of the Federation, to
assist with running their organisations, raising
awareness or providing support to their members. This year a total of £5,000 is available. The grants, which may be of up to £500 each,
are managed by the Federation. Example cases where a small grant would be viewed favourably are equipment purchase, advertising, web space purchase and web design.
Last year the full amount allocated, of £5,000, was awarded to 13 member organisations, for a variety of projects, including design of leaflets, update of a website, supply of dispay materials, holding awareness events, computer euipment and software, and general assistance with funding the costs of running support meetings.
We allocate the grants in two tranches of about £2,500 each, once in August and then in March. Applications for funds out of each tranche will close at the end of July 2010, and February 2011.
An excellent example of what can be done with a Prostate UK Grant is this awareness poster produced by member organisation The Prostate Project, who are based in Guildford.
