These are developed in response to what we have learnt from listening and talking with charities. Our work on #BeConnected, a series of conversations with charities in Perth and Kinross, helped us to design our current grants plus programme.
Through our work on grants plus, we aim to support charities with developing sustainability; enable charities in building capability; encourage innovation and enterprise; be a more impactful and responsive funder for the sector; and build relationships and collaboration in Perth and Kinross. Most of our grants plus activities are delivered in partnership with specialist providers.
Check out our #CharityStory about a recent Grants Plus initiative delivered for Perth based charity Kythe.
We have also been working on a collaborative project called #BeConnected, bringing together charity partners to discuss local needs and strategies for delivering community projects. Take a look at our report to see what we delivered.
The Gannochy Trust Grants Plus programme is offering free places on the Cranfield Trust Mentoring and Consultancy programme. The theme of the consultancy is defined by your needs. Previous projects have included Strategic Planning, Marketing Strategy, Communications Strategy, and a Human Resources Review. You define your needs, and the Cranfield Trust will match you with an appropriate consultant to deliver your project with you. You can read a #CharityStory case study on Cranfield Trust’s recent work with KYTHE in Kinross HERE.
