If this picture caused you to enter a state of panic - you are not alone.
I had a flutter of panic when I received my first Christmas card a couple of weeks ago.
This time of year is a busy one for most people both professionally and personally, with planning for next year, financial forecasts, end of quarter/year reports and appraisals, not to mention the social engagements, shopping, cooking and decorations.
So with this in mind I will keep matters brief and simply say on behalf of all of the team at CSVA we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for working with us this year and to wish you a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Please note that we are closed from December 24th 2022 and reopen on Tuesday 3rd January 2023.
If you need to contact us during this period please email admin@csva.co.uk

The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust
Sustainable Futures Fund
The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust recognises that climate change caused by human activity is threatening the well-being of humanity and that the wealthiest countries and individuals are responsible for a disproportionate share of emissions, whilst the poorest countries and sections of society are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. In order to tackle this issue, the Sustainable Futures fund focuses grant making on:
- Identifying the true costs and risks of resource depletion, climate change and other environmental problems
- Campaigns, initiatives and work that promote alternatives to consumerism
- Campaigns and movements that give a voice to young activists and marginalised groups on issues of economic and environmental justice.
Grants are available from a few hundred pounds to over £100,000 and may be single payments or spread over up to three years.
Funding priorities are:
- Better economics – with grants funding work that explores sustainability rather than traditional forms of economic growth.
- Beyond consumerism – funded work will include that which engages people individually and collectively in moving culture away from consumerism and towards more sustainable ways of living.
- New Voices – funding for campaigns and movements that enable marginalised groups and young activists to have a voice in decisions which affect them.
- Responding to the dual harms of Covid-19 and systemic racism.
To apply, organisations need to register with the Trust's grants management system. The deadline to register is the 14th March 2023 and the deadline to apply is 5pm on the 28th March 2023.
