As you would have read in the ‘about page’ Robert Windle Foundation was created to provide help with education for the youth (under 24 years of age) of the ancient parish of Thornton-in-Craven, which includes Thornton, Earby, Kelbrook and Harden.
The foundation runs The Old Grammar School fundraising group on Facebook, which is asking for donations of useful items and furniture from local residents in order to raise monies for the charity. The proceeds from the Facebook fundraising group is helping to cover the cost of the major repairs that need carrying out at the Grammar School and is also creating a funding pot for local schools and non-profit groups that request financial help with educational related activities.
The foundation is now in a position to accept bids up to a maximum of £200 from our local schools and non profit groups, all we ask in return is that you send us a photo of the item/s has been bought within a 6 week period of you receiving the grant. Schools and groups outside of the Ancient Parish of Thornton-in-Craven can apply, so long as they have some children/members from Thornton, Earby or Kelbrook in attendance. (EITHER A SCHOOL OR PTA CAN APPLY EACH MONTH, BUT NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME).
Groups that apply must be a non profit organisation with a bank account in the name of the group.
