Community Funding

Torus takes pride in being more than just a housing association. Through our charitable arm, Torus Foundation, projects and initiatives are helping to empower tenants and the wider community across Liverpool, St Helens and Warrington. 

The Foundation works with key partners to make a positive difference to communities through key focus areas:

• Providing Employment and Skills opportunities
• Helping to get people online with Go Digital 
• Assisting people with money and benefits through Money Matters
• Providing Health and Wellbeing activities  

To help reach more people with COVID-19 support, the Foundation has relaunched the Community Investment Fund (CIF) inviting local charities and organisations to apply for up to £1,000 worth of the funding.  

Each application will need to demonstrate how a project or initiative will provide COVID-10 support and make a difference for Torus tenants or those living in our surrounding Torus neighbourhoods, through one of the above key focus areas.

Who can apply for funding?

• Applications will only be considered from those who have not already received a grant from Torus Foundation as part of COVID-19 support.
• Any constituted community group that consists of Torus residents or operates in an area that benefits Torus residents
• Any constituted residents group
• Any organisation that delivers services within a Torus neighbourhood
