Businesses can help in a number of ways. This could include a financial donation for a funding category or sponsorship of a talented young person who is progressing well in a chosen sport or other activity. Successful applicants tend to receive funding in the range of £250 to £500 and this will often cover a year of support. We do hold fundraising events staff could participate in such as the Manchester 10K, 24 hour five a side football tournament.
All applicants supply referees for corroboration as part of our due diligence process and we encourage applicants to set a goal to achieve in return for funding their request. We share the progress of successful applicants with email updates or progress reports during their funding period. A member of staff could also join the sub group that reviews applications and be part of the decision making process whenever time permits. So, involvement can be as little or as much as you would like - though we would really welcome more than less!
Thank you to the companies and individuals that continue to support us

“As a proud Salfordian, I have always been committed to making a difference to young peoples lives in Salford. SFP have supported the work of the Trust since its formation in 2004 and have witnessed how children’s lives can be transformed by a relatively small financial contribution. Our great city has many talented individuals and poverty should not be a barrier to success. If you are fortunate to have the time and resources to help others, I would urge Salford based businesses to contact the Trust and help make a difference.”
