Apply For A Riff Raff Society Funding Grant
In 2011 The Riff Raff Society was established by Urmstonian friends Martin Green and Gavin Armitage. The main driver for the birth of the Riff Raff Society was a desire to give local people a platform to fund-raise directly for local disadvantaged people to create a pathway for members of the local Community to help local people facing real hardship. Initially the Society’s two main income streams came from Community Social Event profits and sporting sponsorship.
As the organisation has gained recognition and popularity by successfully supporting many disadvantaged local families unsurprisingly the giving power of the society increased significantly. This has highlighted the importance of making our funding service more easily accessible to all and a formalisation of the way we process worthy cause applications.
