Our Jigsaw Foundation launched in April 2019 and is the Group’s approach to community investment. It combines the old Breathe Investment Grants and Great Neighbourhoods Fund.
The Jigsaw Foundation has a budget of £500,000 per year and offers funds for projects which make a difference to the lives of our residents and their communities. The fund is open to charities, resident and community groups, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and local partner agencies.
We have recently fully allocated our 2019 funding for Adactus Housing Association.
We have invested a total of £136,000 in to projects which benefits our Adactus residents. These include Youth Zones, community walking groups, gardening clubs, anti-poverty charities, debt advice services, medical equipment for poorly children in hospital and support for young carers.
Residents have the opportunity to decide which community projects they would like to see receive funding through our Jigsaw Rewards fund. Your feedback earns you rewards that can be exchanged for rent credit or high street vouchers. You can sign up for Jigsaw Rewards here.
We will be accepting applications for the next financial year in early 2020. Please contact the Foundation team on JigsawFoundation@jigsawhomes.org.uk if you have any queries or use the link: https://foundation.jigsawhomes.org.uk/
