Bogus Grants

Posted: Mon 05th Jan 2009 14:16pm By Web Monkey

A groups using the name “Community Funding” using a false registration number 1116459 is currently knocking on doors asking people to complete an application form for home improvements grants through funding from Stoke City Council.

They ask for personal details on the form and then the caller requests bank details for payments.

1. This has nothing what so ever to do with Staffs Foundation, WE DO NOT GIVE HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANTS.
2. SCF’s is Registered Chairty No. 1091628 and NOT 1116459
3. The registration number belongs to WISCM in Wales and not the so called Community Fund
4. Stoke City Council is not giving out home improvements grants through any third party
5. VAST is not aware of any grant giving organisation that distributes funds through door knocking, a genuine grant giver would not operate in this manner.
