Drinkaware Grants
The Drinkaware grants scheme aims to change the UK’s drinking culture for the better.
The scheme aims to positively influence public behaviour and find innovative ways to raise awareness about the effects of alcohol, to help reduce alcohol misuse and minimise alcohol-related harm.
Grants are available to groups in any part of the UK, working with any population group, through 3 schemes:
- Ideas Fund - up to £2,000
- Awareness Projects - up to £25,000
- Big Impact Awards - up to £100,000
Currently funded projects include:
- peer-led education schemes,
- alcohol education work,
- awareness raising among disadvantaged people who are at risk of harm from alcohol misuse, and
- pilot projects and innovative work.
To apply for a grant please read carefully through Drinkaware’s grants guidelines on the website below, which describes the kind of projects they are seeking to fund.
Drinkaware wants to ensure that its funding schemes reach the right organisations at the right time and so have created a rolling grants programme with no application deadlines.
However, you should apply at least two months before your project is due to start to allow the funder sufficient time to make a decision, and longer if you are planning to apply for a larger grant or a Big Impact Award.
Drinkaware is always happy to give advice informally over the phone (tel: 020 7766 9908) or by email to Andy Lawalaw@drinkaware.co.uk before you make an application, or during the application process.
The funder would prefer to discuss applications for larger grants before an application is submitted.
All applications for funding should be made by filling in the Drinkaware application form which is available fordownload from their website:http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/grants.
