2022 - Grant Rounds Update!

Cash for Kids helping multiple causes this year

Author: Molly Jones Coffey

Throughout the pandemic, Cash for Kids has helped thousands of local children through various campaigns and causes.

We are pleased to announce our scheduled grant rounds for 2022. Application forms to the relevant campaigns will open closer to the suggested dates below. Keep an eye on our social media pages for updates.

Cash for Kids Day

As we come out of the pandemic, the world is an incredibly difficult place for so many of the families that Cash for Kids supports. Energy price increases, cost of living increases, benefit system changes and the post-Covid impact, means more families have been tipped into poverty. Many have now reached crisis point, facing the very real choice of whether to 'heat or eat'.

Continuing the support we have offered since the start of the first lockdown in 2020, Cash for Kids will again this year commit to one hundred percent of all the funds raised being used to help families in need.

Cash for Kids Day is raising funds on Hallam FM and Greatest Hits Radio on Friday 27th May. Applications for this grant round will open in early June.

Sports Challenge

Since 2018, Cash for Kids have granted over £300,000 to grassroots sports clubs to help fund kit, equipment and subsidised costs of participation for disadvantaged children.

Applications for 2022 sports challenge open on Monday 22nd August.
