The Helen Jean Cope Charity only makes grants to Registered Charities, usually to achieve specific objectives. Grants normally range in size between £500 and £5000, although we do make larger grants in some circumstances. We prefer applications to be from charities based in the East Midlands, but we do make grants to national charities where they can demonstrate that they will provide a benefit to our catchment area. Grants are usually made for specific purposes, and are rarely made to the same organisation two years in succession.

Since its inception, The Helen Jean Cope Charity has helped schools, village halls, churches, playgroups, art festivals, and all manner of groups catering for the needs of young, the old, the disabled, the homeless and the sick.
