Buckinghamshire has a very high concentration of wealth close to small pockets of rural deprivation that are masked. The areas covered by this fund are constantly changing and are agreed at the discretion of our independent voluntary grants panel, working closely with our dedicated and experienced grants outreach officers.

Please contact one of our Grants Officers if you require further information about the areas covered by this fund.
