£100,000 charity giveaway to projects in East and West Sussex

As a Trustee of the David Hunt Trust I have pleasure to announce, as per last year, we have the sum of £100,000 to donate to smaller charities and community projects based in East and West Sussex. As last year was such an outstanding success we have decided we will try to make this an annual event.

As previously the money will be divided up with the sum of £20,000 as the top grant and reducing down to £500....a total of 30-40 awards will be made.

All applications must be received by the end of July with a clear explanation of how the money will be used. The applications will be considered by a panel of judges and the successful applicants will receive their grant in the autumn. It is hoped that we will hand out the awards to the successful applicants at the prestigious Ham Manor Golf Club who provided the venue for last year's Inaugural Ceremony...refreshments will be provided.
