There are many external grant funds available to Youth Groups including Girlguiding. Some funds will be local to an area or available for any unit in Anglia but all need to be applied for locally.

We’ve gathered below links to grant funds we are aware of and we will keep updating the page so please check back! If you are aware of any that we have missed but that you believe would assist units across the Anglia region please contact us with the details and we’d be happy to add them to this page.

Please note that as these are all externally managed funds, whilst we are happy to help you with your application, we have no direct connection or affiliation with these organisations.
