Grants Panels

It is very important to us that our grant making decisions are made in an open and transparent way. To ensure this, we have two grants panels made up of highly experienced volunteers who work in a range of disciplines throughout the county. They assess funding applications and evaluate the effectiveness of grants made. We are currently seeking a new member from the Bedford area who has good knowledge of the needs of the community. Please contact us if you are interested in hearing more about this opportunity.

Volunteers

In addition to our panel members, we have volunteers working for us in areas including project assessment, book keeping and marketing.
