Children & Families

Within the Children and Families theme we encourage applications that support young people and families with children, reduce inequalities, and improve life chances.

Read here about what one of our recipients say about the support they have received from The Summerfield Charitable Trust.

The Gloucestershire Gateway Project

Eight new Neighbourhood Connector roles have been created thanks to the £2 million grant that has been awarded by Summerfield Charitable Trust. This exciting new initiative will create better access to children and family services, for families who may be hidden by social or geographical isolation across four districts of Gloucestershire. Thanks to the support of the Summerfield Charitable Trust, the lives of a generation of Gloucestershire children will be changed for the better.

This is a landmark investment. It will enable residents to connect with lots more people, have more influence over local services and more opportunities to create the events, facilities and the provision they want.
