Angel Tree Project and New Hall Prisons Ministry
Two projects helping to support prisoners in their family relationships. Firstfruits gave £250 to help provide a way for prisoners to give a Christmas present to their children.
Firstfruits is able to provide financial grants to charities, organisations and individuals. We work pre-dominantly, but not exclusively with those demonstrating a Christian ethos. Firstfruits has considerable flexibility, but aims to primarily support causes local to Yorkshire. We enjoy building a relationship with the people we support through visits and regular updates.
Our priorities are to financially assist organisations who:
Help people who are disadvantaged by reasons of poverty, ill health, age or financial hardship.
Support people in crisis situations to help give them a hope and a future
Demonstrate and spread the love of Jesus in practical ways
We are able to provide:
Regular giving
One off grants
Matched funding
Gifts/support in kind
We don’t run an application process. Instead please get in touch by email or telephone with your funding request. We prefer the personal touch and will arrange to come and meet the people involved, establish what is needed and how we might help.
