Supporting Local Causes
The Trustees of the Hazlemere Memorial Hall CIO are keen to support local causes in accordance with our charitable objectives – see below. Since our inception in 2017, we have supported many local causes including the annual Hazlemere Fete.
Our most recent donation was to the Squirrel Scouts, a brand new section of the 11th High Wycombe (Hazlemere) Scout Group. You can read more about this at https://hazlemerehall.org/news/.
One of Hazlemere Hall’s objectives, according to the constitution, is
” the provision of grants and funding to organisations and for projects which make an application to the CIO and which will apply the funds for exclusively charitable purposes in a way that benefits the community of Hazlemere and improves the conditions of life for its inhabitants; ”
The trustees have issued Criteria for Grant Funding which expand on the objective. Any project/event/activity may qualify for a grant if it is not for profit and is to offer a service to the Hazlemere community, is for the personal enhancement of someone in the community, is for the improvement of community clubs or facilities.
Any local person is encouraged to apply, who may fulfil the criteria.
Please apply by sending an email, explaining the purpose of the grant, how much is required and any other details that may assist the trustees in making a decision.
