Call for poetry!
As part of Urban Tree Festival 2021, Hogarth’s House is commissioning a piece by artist Rachael Kidd about our historic mulberry tree – the last living remnant from our garden’s origins as a 17th century orchard and it will remain healthy for more generations to come. Rachael’s work is about nature as a whole and how we fit within it. The piece will be inspired by poems and creative writing submitted by our community. Rachael’s process and the piece will be unveiled virtually during the Festival, 15 – 23 May. If you’d like to submit a piece or learn more about how to participate, email Elizabeth.Bryan@Hounslow.gov.uk by 3 May 2021.

Triangle Trust 1949 Fund Launches New Grants Programme
The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund has launched a new grants strategy for 2021. The Trusts primary focus for 2021 is to help support the needs of young carers (round 1) and young people caught up in the criminal justice system (round 2). This marks a shift from previous years when the Trust focused its funding on unpaid adult carers and adult offenders.
Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply for grants of between £10,000 and £60,000 for a duration of six months to two years. (A maximum of £30,000 per year can be requested.)
The funding is not for standalone new projects, rather its to support work that amplifies the impact of existing work with young carers (up to the age of 25) and develops existing support around learning and access to education and training.
Projects should start after 1 November 2021 for the following types of work:
· Providing support to young carers and young adult carers who have fallen behind with their learning due to their responsibilities and the impact of Covid-19.
· In/with local primary and secondary schools to identify, support and raise awareness of young carers. Projects may provide support directly to young carers as well as helping schools to develop whole-school approaches to raising awareness of caring and supporting children and young people who have caring responsibilities.
· Providing support to young adult carers to continue in higher and further education and training.
The deadline for applications is 11 May 2021 (12noon).
