Community Assistance Programme
Kavanagh & Coates Community Assistance Programme £2,000 pledged to help our local communities
As a way of giving back to our local area, the Kavanagh & Coates Community Assistance Programme aims to provide funding support for community-based projects which improve the quality of life of people living within three miles of Kavanagh & Coates Funeral Services’s branches in Heywood.
Local charities will be awarded funding toward the cost of a specific, community-focused project. We aim to fund projects that run for 3 months or longer, but we may consider shorter projects if ongoing community benefits can be demonstrated.
In order to be eligible to receive funding, the project must align with one or more of the fund categories: Health, Education, Employment Opportunities, Poverty/Social Deprivation. Grants are available for amounts up to £1,000.
We will run two application cycles over the course of the year:
| Applications open | Applications close | Winners informed by | |
| Cycle one | 16/02/2026 | 29/03/2026 | 10/05/2026 |
If you work with a charity in need of funding for community projects in Bury, Callander Square, Crimble, Hopwood, Bamford or surrounding areas, we encourage you to apply. We particularly welcome applications from small, local not-for-profit organisations embedded in their communities.
How to apply
Applications should be submitted to KavanaghandCoates.community@funeralpartners.co.uk
