Lloyds TSB Foundation
New guidelines
The Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales has published its new guidelines for charities applying for a grant during 2004.
Grants are given to charities, which help disadvantaged and disabled people to play a fuller role in the community. You can find further details on this at http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/hq/fundraising/fpoints/fp-2002-12.htm#3 or www.lloydstsbfoundations.org.uk.
Woolworths Kids First
Employees choose the charitable giving
This is a registered charity that supports children and enables Woolworth's employees to bring to life their charitable giving efforts within local communities. Teams in stores, offices and distribution centres choose local initiatives that they wish to support and then initiatives are considered for approval by the Trustees.
Kids First involves Woolworth's employees supporting their local communities in the way that they choose, either by a donation, expertise/time or general fundraising. To find out how you can get involved pop into your local Woolworths, and ask for the Kids First Co-ordinator/Store Manager, to find out what Woolworth Kids First is doing in your area.
