    In response to the current cost of living crisis, the Volant Charitable Trust is, for the foreseeable future, prioritising the focus of its awards on charities and organisations that are particularly addressing poverty and deprivation, helping to support vulnerable groups who are most affected, with an emphasis on women, children, and young people.

    Your project must meet at least one of the specific themes below and ensure you read the corresponding list after each theme as this explains what will be considered for support.

    Project areas of interest, in order of priority, include:

    1. Poverty and deprivation (with an emphasis on women, children and young people)

    • Support for vulnerable families facing extreme poverty
    • Food provision and promotion of healthy eating in areas of extreme deprivation
    • Mental health projects for vulnerable groups living in poverty

    2. Women

    • Support for isolated and lone mothers
    • Community integration support for black and minority ethnic women and children and asylum seekers
    • Support services for women prisoners and their families

    • Provision of antenatal and postnatal care for young mothers or those affected by postnatal depression

    3. Children and Young people

    • Support services and outreach projects for those who are disadvantaged or deemed to be ‘at risk’ through neglect, emotional and physical abuse, alcohol, or drug misuse
