We have a proud heritage of supporting our local community and good causes
The Wigley Community Fund was established in 2021 to provide financial support to causes close to our HQ, Stockton House.
We are a proud part of the local community and we endeavour to help people by providing funding twice a year to causes or organisations within a 7.5-mile radius of our head office.
We have a strong history of fundraising and supporting charities and we wanted to add to this by ensuring we offered dedicated funds that are available to causes and organisations local to us.
All applications are considered by a committee of employees that is chaired by Chief Executive Officer James Davies.
To apply, please read our terms and conditions, download our application form and return it to us completed and we will be touch.
