Wooden Spoon Society Grants

Schools, charities and not-for-profit organisations in the UK can apply for funding for equipment that helps mentally, physically and socially disadvantaged children. The funding is made available through the Wooden Spoon Society’s Grants programme, which has previously provided funding for sensory rooms and gardens, playgrounds and outdoor spaces, specialist equipment and facilities, and projects promoting health and wellbeing.

The funding available is for capital items only and will not support revenue costs such as staffing and other ongoing costs.

There is no maximum grant limit, but projects under £5,000 are unlikely to be considered.

Applications can be submitted at any time.
