Wooden Spoon Society funds practical projects that improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK, with a strong emphasis on inclusion, wellbeing, and accessible spaces. Their grants appear to support tangible improvements such as sensory rooms, playgrounds, gardens, and specialist equipment, especially for children with disabilities or additional needs. The giving is highly project-based and community-oriented, favoring schools and youth-focused organizations that can deliver visible, direct impact.
Project-based grants in the roughly $10,000-$17,000 range, likely awarded through a structured grants programme for UK applicants. Funding is oriented toward specific capital or facility improvements rather than unrestricted support.
Align proposals with a clear, tangible project that improves access, wellbeing, or inclusion for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. Strong applications should describe the facility or equipment to be funded, who will benefit, and the measurable impact; expect a formal grants programme rather than open-ended general support.
