Grant Awards
Last month, we launched ‘The Big Charity Giveaway’, and have since been overwhelmed by the response. We would like to thank every single applicant for their time and consideration.
Those who have been both successful and unsuccessful have now been notified.
On the 8th January, we announced the £250,000 ‘Big Charity Giveaway’ – a significant funding initiative designed to support charities and organisations across Yorkshire, the Midlands and the Liverpool City Region. Those eligible were invited to apply for grants ranging from a few hundred pounds up to £15,000 to help strengthen their work and support their communities.
We have reviewed all applications from charities working across a wide range of causes, including poverty alleviation, elderly care, cancer services, youth projects and disability support. The volume of requests reflected both the vital work happening within communities and the significant pressures many organisations face.
The Appeal is extremely grateful for all of the hard work put in across the nation, by charitable organisation striving to make a difference. Thank you for all of the incredible work you do.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team if you have any questions and please keep an eye out for further rounds of funding.
This significant grant round continues the legacy of the late Jane Tomlinson CBE – the inspirational athlete and fundraiser whose determination and generosity helped transform lives across the UK and beyond. Over the years, The Jane Tomlinson Appeal has supported numerous charities and community projects focused on cancer care, bereavement services, mental health, and initiatives that enhance the physical and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.
““The 2026 Big Charity Giveaway is all about continuing Jane’s legacy of helping others, giving charities across our regions the chance to grow, reach more people, and change even more lives"
Mike Tomlinson, Jane's Husband and Trustee
