The Avon Fund for Women and Girls
The Avon Fund for Women and Girls is managed by Northamptonshire Community Foundation on behalf of Avon Cosmetics Ltd. In 2024 the Avon Fund for Women and Girls will have a focused commitment to funding up to three projects that focus particularly to address violence against women and girls and supporting women diagnosed with breast cancer.
One-off awards will be made for this fund up to £3,000. The Fund will particularly welcome project proposals which address one or more of the following:
- Maintain/improve support for women and girls who are experiencing or at risk of violence and abuse, including early intervention work with 13-17 year old girls
- Projects supporting women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, such as wellbeing activities
- Projects supporting survivors of violence and abuse to get their lives back on track through social support networks, education and employability
- Projects tackling financial and technological control of women and girls
- Expand reach and support for women and girls who face additional barriers in accessing services such as BAMER (Black, Asian Minority Ethnic and Refugee), older, LBTI (Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex), and disabled communities
