The Personal Choice Community Fund aims to provide financial support for community-based charity projects which improve the quality of life of residents and benefit people who live within three miles of Personal Choice Funeral Directors’s branches in St Austell and Par, Cornwall. These projects must align with one or more of the fund categories: Health, Education, Employment Opportunities, Poverty/Social Deprivation. Grants are available for amounts up to £1,500.

We will run one application cycle this year, with future rounds of funding announced soon:
