2013 Grassroots Giving winners

Some background from 2013 ...

Our Grassroots Giving initiative in 2013 received a staggering 1,000 applications from community groups, clubs and organisations from all over the UK. In order to make this process as fair as possible, we asked the public to vote on who they believed should be awarded the pots of £500 funding. We had an incredible 20,000 votes cast amongst the shortlisted groups and the competition was really tough.

Sadly we were unable to support everyone, however we continue to have a series of free resources on our website; skiptongrg.co.uk and these are full of top tips and expert advice to help your group continue to grow and succeed. Also don’t forget to join us at or for regular updates on how Grassroots Giving is doing in 2014.
