In order to ensure that we have a varied geographical and issue spread of our funds, we run six different programmes.
They are:
Global Grants
Geographical cover: Global
How the grants are chosen: applications invited by the Grants Team
Regional Funding Programme
Geographical cover: Asia Pacific Panel, Europe, Middle East & Africa Panel, Americas Panel, UK & Republic of Ireland Panel
How the grants are chosen: staff nominations
Local Community Grants
Geographical cover: West Sussex and Southwark area, London
How the grants are chosen: staff nominations
Our Regional Funding Programmes are run by employees & franchisees of The Body Shop who choose a remit specific to their own regions & markets. They make the recommendations & nominations for groups or projects and they ultimately make the grants decisions.
Our global programme ensures that current issues not covered by the regional grants programmes are also covered. We also look for longer term funding through this programme and also, wherever applicable, look for partnership funding.
Finally, our Local Community Grants Programme ensures we contribute to the charities and projects that operate in the areas surrounding the two main Head Office sites in the UK at Littlehampton and London.
