About Fletchers Foundation

Fletchers Foundation is a charitable foundation launched by Fletchers Group, a trading name of Fletchers Solicitors.

The Foundation was born in 2022, out of Fletchers Group’s aim to be a responsible business.

Fletchers has been providing specialist legal services to seriously injured people since the 1980s and are one of the country’s leading specialist serious injury law firms.

The Foundation was set up because of a long-standing desire to provide more direct help and support to people who have suffered serious injuries or illnesses but who do not have the benefit of a legal claim to pursue. 

We provide this support through the use of financial grants that can be used for aids and equipment, rehabilitation treatment, or a whole host of wider uses that will help individuals with their recovery or quality of life.

Our objective is to enable as many people as possible to thrive following a life-changing injury.

Eligibility

If service users of your organisation are living with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence or due to illness (born with or acquired), you may qualify for support from Fletchers Foundation, and we’d love to hear from you.

 

You are eligible to apply for support if:

You are a local community group, registered charity, or school working with individuals and their family with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence, or illness.

Fletchers Foundation will consider requests for funding towards: 

Aids or equipment

Rehabilitation Therapies (physiotherapy/Hydrotherapy/SLT/OTCBT, etc) 

Prosthetics 

Counselling for the individual who are suffering from mental health issues because of the serious injury, medical negligence, or illness.

Projects, groups, or events that can be proven to make long term-impact.

The project, group or event must be in partnership, jointly branded and meet our eligibility criteria set out.

We are unable to consider applications if: 

The project, group, or event that the local community group, registered charity, or school is applying for, is eligible for public funding.

The project, group, or event that the local community group, registered charity, or school is applying for, has successfully received money from Fletchers Foundation in the last 12 months.

The local community group, registered charity, or school is financially able to support themselves.

We will not consider applications under any circumstance if: 

The grant is going to promote/involve any religious or political aspects.

The grant is going to be paid into a non-affiliated bank.

The grant will pay for the local community group, registered charity, or school’s ‘business as usual’ activity or to replace lost income, rather than go towards the joint project.

How much can you apply for: 

Local community groups with an annual income of less than £50,000 can apply up to £10,000.

Registered charities, schools, and community groups with an annual income of more than £50,000 will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

How many times can you apply: 

We will only support a local community group, charity or school once every 12 months.

Please note there isn’t a limit on how many times a local community group, registered charity, or school can signpost their services users to the foundation in a 12-month period. We will only support that individual once in a 12-month period, but there is no limit in how many individuals come from that local community group, registered charity, or school (within reason).

Please note

Fletchers Foundation will only donate funds within the U.K.

We require all the supporting documentation to be submitted to info@fletchersfoundation.org.uk otherwise the application won’t be processed.
