Community Match Fund
Scouts and our communities
The Pears Foundation, a long-term core funder of Scouts, is delighted to be working in partnership with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to invest in young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the Government’s £750m charities package, Pears has received a £5.5 million to match with £5 million of their own funding.
Pears will be working through its existing partnerships with Contact, Mencap, Carers Trust, Mind, Samaritans, Home-Start UK, UK Youth, Scouts and Girlguiding UK to help support groups who’ve been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
Scouts will receive £900k to support local groups in deprived areas of England through our Recovery Fund.
