by We support charities to improve people’s health and wellbeing. This could include providing access to services, supporting people and families facing financial hardship (such as foodbanks and debt advice) or helping to combat isolation (such as befriending services or social inclusion projects).
Below are some of the charities who have recently received a grant:
Citizens Advice Bureau Swale – Awarded £10,000 towards services on the Isle of Sheppey and Sittingbourne
Our grant is supporting the charity’s outreach work in Sittingbourne and the Isle of Sheppey, helping to reach the most vulnerable residents where they are.
Jude Lee, Chief Officer says: “this funding enables us to offer in-depth support on income maximisation, debt, benefits, and energy. Many clients face complex issues, and this outreach work will ensure they receive tailored advice and quick referrals to specialist teams. By being more accessible, we will be able to provide meaningful support that makes a real difference.”
Mama to Mama – Awarded £8,000 towards core costs
Mama to Mama Baby Bank supports families in Thanet who are living below the poverty line – offering practical, social and emotional help during the early years of a child’s life – when it matters most.
Rachel Ward from Mama to Mama said: “Our mission is to ease the pressure on families facing financial hardship and give every child the best possible start, no matter their background. The grant from The Philip and Connie Phillips Foundation has been a vital part of making this happen. By being one of the first funders to contribute towards our essential core costs, the grant sustained the charity at a really important time and allowed us to focus on providing essential childcare equipment, as well as grants and signposting to other services, and wellbeing workshops for parents and children.”
