Caremark - Community Care Fund
Background
The Community Care Fund is a competition run by Caremark Limited, looking for local projects across the UK that will make a real difference. Twelve projects (one from each UK region) are shortlisted and then go head-to-head in a public vote on social media to select three winners.
Objectives of Fund
The fund aims to support local projects that will create a meaningful, lasting impact. Examples include equipment for inclusive sports, revamping a community centre, supplies for a community garden, or new equipment for a pre-school or playground.
Value Notes
Three winning projects will each receive a £3,000 grant.
