PWCF also has a significant interest in supporting young people and the built environment; grants are awarded to The Prince’s Foundation and Prince’s Trust programmes in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In order to increase our impact and ensure that we have a holistic approach to our grant making, we encourage our grant beneficiaries to work together where they have overlapping programmes. An example of this approach is the grant awarded to The Rivers Trust and The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership in support of a three-year project on water catchment management which links into our interest in environmental sustainability issues. Under PWCF’s health, wellbeing and social inclusion theme, a grant was made to Shared Lives Plus, to combat loneliness and promote supportive shared living through Shared Lives and Homeshare schemes run in partnership with local and national governments. The small grant programme enables charities to leverage and unlock funding from other sources for grass roots community projects and reach disadvantaged communities. Case Study – Learning Partnerships ‘Let’s Read’ Programme A grant was given to Learning Partnerships in order to fund a further 25 volunteers for their Let’s Read programme in deprived areas of Leeds. Funding for reading and literacy programmes in such communities makes a significant difference on many levels. Beneficiaries reported that ‘The volunteers are great positive role models for the children - they make them feel valued by always taking the time to talk and listen to them on a 1:1 basis. The sessions give the children extra time to practice their phonic and comprehension skills allowing them to develop their reading ability.” Rebecca Machin, St Bartholomew’s Primary Academy “When I have read my book, we have a talk and she makes me laugh!” “She helps me sound out difficult words and she always says well done!” “They help me read better and learn the meaning of new words. – Schoolchildren “It’s rewarding getting to know each child and seeing their confidence grow." – Reading Volunteer Subsidiaries impact Since 2004, Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) has worked with the accounting and finance community to drive a fundamental shift towards resilient business models and deliver a sustainable future by transforming reporting standards, and inspiring influential global leaders to act.
