Targeted Fund


Grants of up to £5,000 and £10,000 from this £110,000 Targeted Fund are available to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations with established connections to Jewish communities in Bury, Manchester and Salford.

The fund will prioritise support for victims and witnesses of the attack, children attending nearby schools and other affected community members. Non-exhaustive list of eligible activity examples:

  • Community drop-ins and safe spaces
  • Peer support groups
  • Creative and expressive workshops
  • Food and warmth with dignity
  • Gentle advocacy and signposting
  • Micro-events and celebrations
  • Psychoeducation and recovery information

Funded activities will need to be completed by 31st March 2026.

The amount you apply for must not exceed 50% of your organisation’s annual income for 2024/25.

We recognise that some organisations have been delivering activities since the attack on 2nd October, so there is scope to apply for funds for past and future activities.

In an effort to provide a reasonably rapid response to funding submissions, every 7 to 10 days we will send batches of applications that we receive to an external panel which will make decisions within 2-3 working days.
