The Birdhouse Fund is aimed at women over 16 years of age in Greater Manchester who are in need of a small amount of money to help them overcome an obstacle that keeps them from following their dreams, or simply make a better start in life.
It might be to help make a new home after fleeing domestic violence, to embark on a training course to build a career, or even to set up a new group that will support other women moving forward.
Why the community needs usThere are thousands of women across Greater Manchester who are in desperate need of just a little bit of help to get them on their feet, and start improving their lives.
Our grants of up to £500 are easy to apply for and can make a massive difference to women who are just need a little help to step up in life.
Our impact on the communityOur funding has helped women get back to work through new training, created homes out of soul-less accommodation provided when fleeing domestic violence, helped with equipment for developing new skills and has given opportunities to women who previously thought none were availabe.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with: Fundraising; Events; PR; Marketing. For more information on volunteering contact info@birdhousefund.org
